Shadows falling, the world grows cold
Ancient stories, waiting to be told
We're all searching for a sign
Something sacred, something divine
Lost in darkness, we call your name
Through the silence, through the pain
Can you hear us? Are you near?
Break through the night, appear
The winter's long, but hope remains
A thousand voices, one refrain
We're waiting here, we're holding on
For the light that's yet to come
Come Emmanuel, break through the night
Bring us the dawn, be our guiding light
Rejoice! Rejoice! The darkness fades away
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
You're the hope we've been waiting for
The answer to every prayer we've prayed
Rejoice! Rejoice! You're here to stay
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Generations held this dream alive
Through the ages, we survived
Every candle that we light
Is a promise in the night
You're the breakthrough we can't see
The missing piece to set us free
Not just a memory, not just a song
You're the place where we belong
The winter's long, but hope remains
A thousand voices, one refrain
We're waiting here, we're holding on
For the light that's yet to come
Come Emmanuel, break through the night
Bring us the dawn, be our guiding light
Rejoice! Rejoice! The darkness fades away
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
You're the hope we've been waiting for
The answer to every prayer we've prayed
Rejoice! Rejoice! You're here to stay
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
From the shadows into light
From the cold into the warmth
Every heart that's ever ached
Finds its healing, finds its home
We don't have to wait alone
We don't have to fear the unknown
'Cause you're here now
Yeah, you're here now
Come Emmanuel, break through the night
Bring us the dawn, be our guiding light
Rejoice! Rejoice! The darkness fades away
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
You're the hope we've been waiting for
The answer to every prayer we've prayed
Rejoice! Rejoice! You're here to stay
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Rejoice
Emmanuel
You're here to stay
Emmanuel
