From the squalor
of a borrowed stable,
By the spirit an d a virgin's faith,
To the anguish and the shame of scandal,
Came the savior of the human race.
But the skies were filled
with the praise of heaven
Shepherds, listen as the angels tell
Of the gift of God come down to man
At the dawning of Em manuel
King of heaven,
now the friend of sinners
Humble servant in the
Father's hands
Filled with power and the Holy Spirit
Filled with mercy for the broken man
Yes, He walked my road
and He felt my pain
Joys and sorrows that I know so well
Yet His righteous steps
give me hope again
I will follow my Em manuel
Through the kisses
of a friend's betrayal
He was lifted on a cruel cross
He was punished for
a world's transgressions
He was suffering to save the lost
He fights for breath, He fights for me
Losing sinners from the claims of hell
And with a shout, our souls are free
Death defeated by Im
manuel
Now He's standing in
the place of honor
Crowned with glory on the
highest throne
Interceding for His own beloved
Till His Father calls to
bring them home
Then the skies will part as
the trumpet sounds
Hope of heaven, oh, the fear of hell
But the bride will run to her
lover's arms
Giving glory to Emmanuel
Yes, the skies will part as the
trumpet sounds
Hope of heaven, oh, the fear of hell
But the bride will run to her
lover's arms
Giving glory to Emmanuel
You
