We have come today to worship We have come to praise the One Who came down into our darkness Born a lowly virgin's son You who did not come with splendor Pomp and strength and majesty You who came to us in weakness Born to us in poverty

 

Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel In You alone we hope and trust Jesus, Savior, God with us Emmanuel

 

We were blind and lost and godless Wandering a trackless waste Then hope arose, a glorious beacon Like the star the wise men chased Down from heaven came a Savior Born a child, so small and frail Taking up our pain and troubles Conquering where we had failed

 

You who with a word created Sun and moon and seas and sand Lay there sleeping in a manger Cradled by Your mother's hand You who made the mighty forests Would lie down upon a tree Fastened there with nails for sinners Would bleed and die to set us free
