From a throne of glory to a manger full of grace
Awestruck angels watch
As You reach out to foes and slaves
With a heart that’s rich with mercy
You pursue the lost and poor
Every ounce of rightful judgment
You came down to bear it all
Verse 2
Gifts of earthly value mark the day
Our King was born
Yet the greatest cost was
Your salvation for our fall
You have seen our sin and failings
You have felt our struggles too
Though the cross loomed from the manger
You were born to see it through
Chorus
Emmanuel Emmanuel
Emmanuel Emmanuel
Verse 3
Jesus from the manger to the tomb my debt to pay
Raised though Christ is raised now
Death retreated to the grave
You’ve returned now to the Father
To prepare a place for us
You’ve restored what we had broken
Jesus Christ the Lamb of God
Tag
Oh bless the Lord Emmanuel
Who plucked us from the gates of hell
Your birth foretold our names foreknown
Jesus the Saviour of the world
Verse 4
Baby in a manger such a journey lay ahead
But for now be silent lay in peace Your weary head
