All the angels held their breath
As Heaven put on human clothes
Rang the news God did not forget
His promise that was sent from the prophets old

The answer came in a sacred birth
Truth and justice, meek and mild
All the hope and the peace on earth
Rested in the hands of a newborn child

From God in the highest
Heaven made a way in a manger
From God in the highest
Love was born through a simple virgin girl
Took a child to save the world

For the ones who were lost He came
Every child of Adam's fall
Emmanuel was the precious name
Of the small boy who would grow
And would touch us all

From God in the highest
Heaven made a way in a manger
From God in the highest
Love was born through a simple virgin girl
A child to save the world
