Emmanuel, God With Us
We dim the light
We stoke the fire
We breathe the evergreen
Young ones wait
While the old ones make up
Tales of how it used to be
China dolls
Candy corn
Painted wooden toys
Treasures found
To the wondrous sound
Of carolling the Savior
Born to us on Christmas morn
Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel
Emmanuel, God with us
The son of Israel
And still he calls
Through the night
Beyond the days of old
A voice of peace
To the weary ones
Who struggle with the human soul
All of us
Travellers
Through a given time
Who can know
What tomorrow holds?
But over the horizon
Surely you and I will find
Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel
Emmanuel, God with us
The son of Israel
And the years they come
And the years they go
Though we may forget somehow
That the child once born in Bethlehem
Is still among us now
(Emmanuel, God with us
The son of Israel)
Emmanuel, God with us (Emmanuel)
Emmanuel
Emmanuel, God with us
The son of Israel
The son of Israel
The son of Israel (Son of Israel)
