Behold the breath of One so small
The fragile heartbeat of a promise
For us all
Heaven’s innocence wrapped up
In flesh and bone
Oh, Emmanuel
Behold the sound the melody
The hopeful anthem rising up
As Mary sings
And generations yet to come
Will join her song
Oh, Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Emmanuel God with us
Let my soul sing gloria, gloria
Let my soul sing gloria, gloria
Behold the power of God revealed
The full release of peace on earth
No one can steal
This Child of triumph born to be
A roaring Lamb
Oh, Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Emmanuel God with us
Oh, Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Emmanuel God with us
