The faintest spark
A tiny glimmer
Heaven's light
In a manger
God with us
Praise Immanuel
Death now knew
Its days were numbered
Darkness shook
The angels thundered
Peace on earth
Praise Immanuel
We sing
Glory, glory
Glory in the highest
Holy, holy
Holy is the lamb
He shall reign forevermore
The King has come
The wait is over
Glory, glory
Glory in the highest
Heaven and earth
All creation
Every heart
Tongue and nation
Lift him up
Praise Immanuel
We sing
Glory, glory
Glory in the highest
Holy, holy
Holy is the lamb
He shall reign forevermore
The King has come
The wait is over
Glory, glory
Glory in the highest
You came to the meek and the lowly
A child who changed every story
Heaven came closer
The way back home is wide open
You came with the heart of your father
You showed us that we're not forgotten
Heaven came closer
The way back home is wide open
We sing
Glory, glory
Glory in the highest
Holy, holy
Holy is the lamb
We sing
Glory, glory
Glory in the highest
Holy, holy
Holy is the lamb
He shall reign forevermore
The King has come
The wait is over
Glory, glory
Glory in the highest...
