| One of us is crying
|
| As our hopes and dreams
|
| Are led away in chains
|
| And we’re left all alone
|
| And one of us is dying
|
| As are love
|
| Is slowly lowered in the grave
|
| Oh, and we’re left on our own
|
| But for all of us who journey
|
| Through the dark abyss of loneliness
|
| There comes a great announcement
|
| «We are never alone»
|
| For the One who made each heart that breaks
|
| The Giver of each breath we take
|
| Has come to earth
|
| And given hope its birth
|
| And our God is with us, Emmanuel
|
| And He’s come to save us, Emmanuel
|
| And we will never face life alone
|
| Now that God has made Himself known
|
| As Father and Friend, with us through the end
|
| Emmanuel
|
| He spoke with prophets' voices
|
| And He showed Himself in a cloud of fire
|
| But no one had seen His face
|
| Until the One most holy
|
| Revealed to us His perfect heart’s desire
|
| And left His rightful place
|
| And in one glorious moment
|
| All eternity was shaken
|
| As God broke through the darkness
|
| That had kept us apart
|
| And with love that conquers loneliness
|
| And hope that fills all emptiness
|
| He came to earth to show our worth
|
| So rejoice, oh, rejoice
|
| Emmanuel has come |
