Come fall at his feet,
Won't you sing, sing to the king
Go tell everyone that Christ is born
Glory fills the sky
As Mary sings a lullaby
Emmanuel is born tonight
Give all that you are
Follow the star
And leave all that you have behind
Glory fills the sky
As Mary sings a lullaby
Emmanuel is born tonight
Hope has come to us
The maker of the universe
Emmanuel is born tonight
Holy, holy, God almighty....
