Emmanuel Songtext
von Laura Story

Once in royal David′s city
Stood a lowly cattle shed
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger bed

Mary was that mother mild
Jesus Christ her little child

Emmanuel
The promise kept
It's the longing of my heart for God in flesh
Through this child, all earth is blessed
Emmanuel

He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all
And his shelter was a stable
And his cradle was a stall
With the poor, the scorned, the lowly
Lived on earth our Savior holy


Emmanuel
The promise kept
It′s the longing of my heart for God in flesh
Through this child, all earth is blessed
Emmanuel

Our answered prayer
Our faith's reward
Redemption's near
Redemption′s here

Emmanuel
The promise kept
It′s the longing of my heart for God in flesh
Through this child, all earth is blessed
Emmanuel
In you rejoice
We will worship you
Our Savior and our Lord
We will join the angels voice
Emmanuel

It's the longing of my heart, the longing of my heart
Through this child, all earth is blessed
Through this child, all earth is blessed
Through this child, all earth is blessed
Emmanuel
