A Love Gift from Heaven arrived on the earth;
Announced by His angel: Our Lord came to serve.
Enthroned in a trough; clothed in humblest array,
God gave us himself on that first Christmas day.
Verse 2
While we were still sleeping He came in the night,
And shattered our darkness with His piercing light.
Lord, shine and awaken the sleepers, we pray,
To open your love gift on this Christmas day.
Chorus
O come, Yes, O come, Lord Emanuel
As once on the earth, so in lives to dwell,
O Light of Man, burn bright in us.
O come Lord Jesus come, Lord Jesus.
Come Lord Jesus come.
Verse 3
The birds live in nests and the foxes in holes,
On Earth their Creator had no place called ‘home’.
O Lord in our hearts we invite you to stay,
And draw more hearts near to be born on this day
Verse 4
In this festive season, this good news we bring:
That all are invited to feast with the King.
His season of joy shall forever remain
When he comes to take us on that final day.
