For the prophets have told our King will arrive
Through a virgin birth, welcome this child
Welcome he did, fears laid to rest
Marrying her, passing the test
Laying not with her till the child was born
Foregoing ridicule, mockery, scorn
Trusting prophecy, and an angel sent
Trusting our Savior’s approaching decent
Perfectly recorded, told so well
“God with us,” Emmanuel
