|
We dim the light
|
We stoke the fire
|
We breathe the ever-green
|
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 carolling the Savior
|
Born to us on Christmas morn
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Emmanuel, God with us
|
Emmanuel
|
Emmanuel, God with us
|
The son of Israel
|
|
And 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 gvien time
|
Who can know what tomorrow holds
|
But over the horizon
|
Surely you and I will find
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
And the years they come
|
And the years they go
|
Through we may forget somehow
|
That the child once born in Bethlehem
|
Is still among us now
|
|
[Chorus]
|

Emmanuel, God With Us
