Lyrics
Emmanuel (God Is With Us)

VERSE
Shepherds on a hillside
Keeping watch by night
Unaware a miracle’s
Sleeping closely by
VERSE
In silent little Bethlehem
A Holy child is born
God has sent a Savior
On this first Christmas morn
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
His name shall be called Emmanuel
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
His name shall be called Emmanuel
VCRSE
As Mary wraps her tiny boy
In His swaddling clothes
The angel of the Lord descends
Proclaiming Christ is come
VERSE
The shepherds quake and tremble
At this starry sight
“Fear not I bring glad tidings
And peace on earth tonight”
CHORUS
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
His name shall be called Emmanuel
Emmanuel, God is with…us
His name shall be called Emmanuel
BRIDGE
The prophecy foretold has come to pass
Jesus is here….at last!
(Instrumental)
(Key change)
VERSE
So go and see this miracle
Which is now at hand
Bring only your heart to him
And leave behind your staff
VERSE
He has come this day for you
Seek Him while you can
For soon this babe of Bethlehem
Will come as King……again
