Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Before You set the edge of time

Foundations of the earth and sky

You saw it all and said that it was good

The joy was set before Your eyes

You knew that You would give Your life

You saw it all and said that it was good


Behold, behold the One, our love has come

Behold, behold the One, our King has come


The heavens warred, the earth stood still

His final breath, He tore the veil

The angels sang, ?Holy is His name?

Defeated death, He broke the grave

Our hope returned, the lost was saved

We lift our voice in never-ending praise


Emmanuel, God with us forever

Emmanuel, Savior of the world

Emmanuel, Emmanuel
