Couplet 1

In the quiet in the distance
There’s a flame that flickers on
Among Mary and the angels
We can hear eternal song

Refrain 1

Here with us oh holy holy
Close you came Emmanuel
Oh shone your light into the darkness
Freed us from the hold of Hell

Couplet 2

All the wealth of Heaven gathered
In your arms to give away
In the crying of an infant
Every human heart embraced

Refrain 2

To the shame of being broken
Clothed in skin You dignified
Oh every soul on Earth befriended
By the God of love divine

Couplet 3

Now You make my heart a stable
Yes You call me Bethlehem
The incarnate still unfolding
Make Your home inside within

Refrain 3

I’ll receive Your holy presence
I’ll become Your dwelling place
Oh fill the temple with Your fragrance
Call it holy sacred space

Refrain 3

I receive Your holy presence
I behold the humble king
Oh living flame I bow in reverence
All my worship I now bring
