we sing, Immanuel, Thy praise,
Thou Prince of Life and Fount of grace,
Thou Flower of heaven and Star of morn,
Thou Lord of lords, Thou Virgin-born. hallelujah, hallelujah
for Thee, since first the world was made,
so many hearts have watched and prayed;
the patriarchs' and prophets' throng
for Thee have hoped and waited long. hallelujah, hallelujah
unto Him a babe
unto Him be praise
unto Him the King
unto Him be glory
now art Thou here, Thou Ever-blest!
in lowly manger dost Thou rest.
thou, making all things great, art small;
so poor art Thou, yet clothest all. hallelujah, hallelujah
chorus
had I no load of sin to bear,
Thy grace, O Lord, I could not share;
in vain hadst Thou been born for me
If from God's wrath I had been free. hallelujah, hallelujah
thus will i sing Thy praises here
with joyful spirit year by year;
and when we reckon years no more,
may i in heaven Thy name adore! hallelujah, hallelujah(2x)
