‘We worship you, Immanuel’
(Melody: ‘O God, our help in ages past’)
- We worship you, Immanuel, oh holy God of might, / Your angel hosts to humble shepherds came from heavenly height
- And brought good news to powerless souls lost in the darkest night. / You brought them never-ending peace, setting their hearts alight.
- The angel voice calls as it did two thousand years ago. / Good news to all, and peace on earth to all of us below.
- Oh Holy Spirit, dwell with us, on lukewarm hearts to blow, / Turn human pride to thankfulness and set our souls aglow.
- We praise you, Lord, this Christmas time, for your unending love. / We join with saints on earth and with your angel hosts above
- Like shepherds of so long ago we hear your angel’s call, / And thank you for the gift of Christ who came to save us all.
