Prophets promised long ago A King would come to bring us hope And now a virgin bears a son The time to save the world has come Humble shepherds run in haste To see the One the angels praised In cattle stall they find a girl Who holds the hope of all the world Emmanuel has come to us The Christ is born, Hallelujah! Our God made low to raise us up Emmanuel, has come to us As He sleeps upon the hay He holds the moon and stars in place Though born an infant He remains The sovereign God of endless days For all our sins one day He'll die To make us sons of God on high Let every heart prepare Him room The promises have all come true
