Emmanuel, God with Us

We dim the light, we (F)stoke the (C5)fire,

we (C)breathe the evergreen.

A (Am)Young ones wait while the old ones make up (C)tales of how it (Am)used to be.

(C)China dolls, (F)candy corn,

(C)painted wooden toys,

(Am)treasures found to the wondrous sound of (C)caroling the (Am)Savior (Dm)born to us on (F)Christmas morn.

(C)(G)(C)Emmanuel, (F)God with us,

Emmanuel. (C)Emmanuel, (F)God with us,

(C)the (Dm)Son of (F)Israel.

(C)And still He calls we (F)through the (C5)night (C)beyond the days of old.

A (Am)voice of peace to the weary ones who (C)struggle with the (Am)human soul.

(C)All of us (F)travelers (C5)(C)through a given time.

(Am)Who can know what tomorrow holds?

But (C)over the (Am)horizon, (Dm)surely you and (F)I will find:

(C)(G)(C)Emmanuel, (F)God with us,

Emmanuel. (C)Emmanuel, (F)God with us,

(C)the (Dm)Son of (F)Israel.

(Csus)And

(C)And the (Esus)years, they (E7)come,

and the (Am)years, they go, though we (Esus)may (E)forget somehow

(A)that the (Dm7)Child once (Gsus)(G)born in (C)Bethlehem is (Bm7)still among us now.

(C)(Dm7)EmSon of (F)Israel,

the (Dm7)Son of (F)Israel,

(C)the (Dm7)Son of (G7sus)(C5)Israel.
