Lyrics:

This is a lullaby for the Holy One,
Sing praises to God’s begotten Son.
Rocked and cradled in Mary’s embrace,
Slept the tiny child of endless Grace.
Swaddled with love in the manger laid,
While lowly shepherds knelt and prayed.
In the heavens hosts of angels sang:
Glory to God! The Prince will reign!
Ooh, Immanuel.

This is the story of a life of love,
All glory be given to God above.
Together this lullaby we will tell,
And shall call His name Immanuel.
Still the Good Shepherd cares for His flock;
Along His path He bids us walk.
Bright is His light shining high on the hill,
Words of the Holy One: “I’ll do thy will.”
Ooh, Immanuel.

Disciples were told to touch and trace
The evident scars of mercy and grace.
Just as the shepherds on bended knee,
We’ve been invited to come and see.

This is the story of a life of love,
All glory be given to God above.
Together this lullaby we will tell,
And shall call His name Immanuel.
All mankind may now rejoice;
With heavenly choirs raise your voice.
Together this lullaby we will tell,
And shall call His name Immanuel.
Ooh, Immanuel.
