Emmanuel (Come nigh Messiah’s manger) – Emmanuel
Now go and tell how He was born
There was no room inside the hotel
Now go and tell how He was born
O Israel – O Israel
We sing Noël; we’ve seen the Lord
It was foretold by prophets of old
Now go and tell how He was born
Under the starlight, wonders at midnight – angels and men come nigh, come nigh
Drum says “pa-rum-pum” – all praise and then some!
Angels and men come nigh, come nigh – come nigh
Emmanuel – Emmanuel
Now go and tell how He was born
Wise men draw near when Heaven appears
For all is well this Christmas morn
Drum says “pa-rum-pum”
Come, come, come, come
