Matt Boswell and Matt Papa, along with Keith and Kristyn Getty, lead this modern Christmas hymn celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, Emmanuel. The song reflects on the prophecy and arrival of the Messiah, emphasizing the humility of God becoming a baby in Bethlehem. It calls listeners to worship, proclaim the good news, and find joy and peace in Christ's coming. The lyrics highlight themes of light overcoming darkness, God's love, and the gospel message.

Sing we the song of Emmanuel

This the Christ who was long foretold

Lo in the shadows of Bethlehem

Promise of dawn now our eyes behold.

God Most High in a manger laid

Lift your voices and now proclaim

Great and glorious, Love has come to us

Join now with the hosts of heaven


Come we to welcome Emmanuel

King who came with no crown or throne

Helpless He lay, the Invincible

Maker of Mary, now Mary?s son

O what wisdom to save us all

Shepherds, sages, before Him fall

Grace and majesty, what humility

Come on bended knee, adore Him


Go spread the news of Emmanuel

Joy and peace for the weary heart

Lift up your heads, for your King has come

Sing for the Light overwhelms the dark

Glory shining for all to see

Hope alive, let the gospel ring

God has made a way, He will have the praise

Tell the world His name is Jesus


Gloria, Gloria!
