Emmanuel Expressed

orchidee



Tune: Stille Nacht

('Silent Night', holy night')

Matthew 1 v.18-25 parts

********

The Son of God, here appears

On earth now, each reveres

Him, the Lord God breaks into

Human history, lowly and true

Jesus of virgin born

Jesus of virgin born

 

Born of the Spirit, Mary

His humble mother be

Joseph as His father earthly

Yet sinless nature Jesus has, see

His Father, God above

His Father, God above

 

And His name Emmanuel

God with us, let all tell

Mary bore the child, He Jesus

He comes to earth, a Saviour for us

Saves us from all our sins

Saves us from all our sins

 

Leaving heaven for earth

Lo, He comes, here new birth

All creation it joins to praise

And all heaven, worshipful arrays

Light of the world, shine bright

Light of the world, shine bright
