Couplet 1

Oh the beauty and the loss
Of the cradle and the cross
The Son of God so humbly sent for us

Pré refrain

Into darkness came the light
Faith of fathers became sight
When the Christ arrived
To save the fold of God

Couplet 2

Humanity embraced
He left a perfect place
The prize of God
In lowly manger lay

Pré refrain

Angels shout with joyous song
Saints and sinners sing along
In the highest place glory gloria

Refrain

Emmanuel God with us
The Lamb of God slain for us
Finally our hope's secured
By the beauty of the cradle
And the cross

Couplet 3

The creator of the stars
Then in flesh received the scars
On the cross He paid
The debt of sinners earned

Pré refrain

And even death could not Him hold
Peace on earth we see unfold
As the risen Christ ascends in victory

Refrain

Emmanuel God with us
The Lamb of God slain for us
Finally our hope's secured
By the beauty of the cradle
And the cross

Pont

Stars and angels
Sing around You Gloria

Pont

Hearts unfold like
Flowers before You Gloria

Refrain modifié

Joyful joyful
We adore You
Gloria

Refrain

Emmanuel God with us
The Lamb of God slain for us
Finally our hope's secured
By the beauty of the cradle
And the cross
