In Bethlehem one holy night
A host of angels filled the sky
They sang to tell the world who waits
Our Savior comes this Christmas Day
God is with us, Christ our Savior
Jesus our Emmanuel
He shall reign, our King forever
The hope of Israel
The wisemen traveled from afar
They followed close a shining star
With costly gifts before Him lay
Our King was born this Christmas Day
God is with us, Christ our Savior
Jesus our Emmanuel
He shall reign, our King forever
The hope of Israel
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
Let violence and all hatred end
For born to us the Prince of Peace
This Christmas Day our song shall be
God is with us, Christ our Savior
Jesus our Emmanuel
He shall reign, our King forever
The hope of Israel
God is with us, Christ our Savior
Jesus our Emmanuel
He shall reign, our King forever
The hope of Israel
You're the Hope of Israel
