Laura Story - Emmanuel lyrics
[Laura Story - Emmanuel lyrics]
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
Its 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
Our answered prayer our faith’s reward
Redemption’s near redemption’s here
Emmanuel we will rejoice
We will worship you, our Savior and our Lord
We will join creation’s voice emmanuel
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
Its 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
Our answered prayer our faith’s reward
Redemption’s near redemption’s here
Emmanuel we will rejoice
We will worship you, our Savior and our Lord
We will join creation’s voice emmanuel
