Tune: Veni Emmanuel

('O come, O come, Emmanuel')

Matthew 1 v.18-25 parts

**********

Now comes again season Advent

Jesus Christ from the Father sent

The Son of God, from ages long

Was promised, this the joyful song

 

Chorus

God's promise kept, His Son appears

Delivers from our sins and fears

 

Mary found to be with child, for

It be the virgin birth so pure

Joseph her husband to be, heart torn

Yet by the Spirit her child born - Chorus

 

For Mary would bring forth a son

All by the Spirit's working done

His name to be JESUS, Saviour

Blessings on all He would confer - Chorus

 

Would save His people from their sins

As His redemption dawn begins

Now all this done, that prophecy

Might be fulfilled, amen, so be - Chorus

 

The word was, Behold a virgin

Shall be with child, lowly within

And shall bring forth a Son, Him dear

Emmanuel, God with us here - Chorus
