Oh, a man named John The Baptist   Had been hearlding the news   About the coming of a Savior   For both the Gentiles and the Jews      And it happened in Judea   In the town of Bethlehem   With a bright star o'er the stable   Was born the Son of Man      Oh, the angels were rejoicing   As the tiny baby cried   For the hope of man's salvation   In a manger had arrived      Meek as a lowly shepherd   But the mightiest of kings   He gives peace and life eternal   To whosever calls His name      Oh, Emmanuel   The Father's precious Son   Who forgives our sins and washes clean   The hearts of everyone      What a wonderful beginning   To the greatest story ever told   His birth still rings with promise   As true as in days of old      So let us sing His praises   And let us open up our hearts   And receive His timeless message   That gives us all a brand new start      Oh, Emmanuel   The Father's precious Son   Who forgives our sins and washes clean   The hearts of everyone      Oh, a man named John The Baptist   Had been hearlding the news   About the coming of a Savior   For both the Gentiles and the Jew
