Emmanuel

He begat her, she begat He

28 generations Abraham to our King

Honorable soul, worthy indeed

Chosen by God, a prophecy to read

 

A promise fulfilled, a promise foretold

A prophecy kept in the stories of old

An angel appears in a worthy man’s dream

Do not fear what this woman brings

 

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
