Come, Emmanuel
©2010 Jeanne E. Webster


From a tiny baby in Mary’s womb
To a Savior risen from the tomb--
He came...
to save the lost.

In Gethsemane’s night He agonized much
His Father’s heart, He surely touched--
He paid...
the ultimate cost.

From Nazareth town a carpenter’s son
To a wooden cross, His onus done--
He redeemed...
our every sin.

From heaven down to earth below
He would be lifted up to show--
He is...
our everything.

Come, Emmanuel, this holy day
Bless our Nativity Feast we pray--
He commands...
us to love.

Little Child, Our King of Kings
Let Your true love help us sing--
Oh, sing...
in heaven above!


(O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today.

We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel.)
~Phillips Brooks, 1868
