Lyrics Emmanuel - Laura Story

Emmanuel

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
