Emmanuel, God With Us

We dim the light, we stoke the fire
We breathe the evergreen
Young ones wait while the old ones make up
Tales of how it used to be
China dolls, candy corn, painted wooden toys
Treasures found to the wondrous sound
Of caroling the
SaviorBorn to us on
Christmas morn
Emmanuel,
God with us
EmmanuelEmmanuel,
God with us
The son of
IsraelAnd still he calls through the night
Beyond the days of old
A voice of peace to the weary ones
Who struggle with the human soul
All of us, travelers, through a given time
Who can know what tomorrow holds
But over the horizon surely you and
I will find
Emmanuel,
God with us
EmmanuelEmmanuel,
God with us
The son of
IsraelAnd the years they come and the years they go
Though we may forget somehow
That the child once born in
BethlehemIs still among us now
