A Christmas greeting in the form of a song, recorded with my friend, Margriet, on backing vocals and percussion. You’re welcome to sing along.<\/p>\n

 
\n

EMMANUEL<\/strong>
\nby Irene Bom<\/em><\/p>\n

1. Sing a song, a song of joy
\nCome along to see the boy
\nA baby boy who from heaven came
\nEmmanuel, Emmanuel is His Name<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nEmmanuel – God is with us
\nEmmanuel – God is with us
\nEmmanuel – God is with us
\nGod is with us – Emmanuel<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Shepherds heard the angels sing
\nBringing news of a baby king
\nSo they went without delay
\nTo see the baby in a manger where he lay<\/p>\n

(Repeat chorus)<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Wise men came from afar
\nThey were led by a star
\nThey brought him gifts, gifts of joy
\nGold and myrrh and frankincense for the boy<\/p>\n

(Repeat chorus)<\/strong>
\n <\/p>\n\n

Extra Extra<\/strong>
\nMusical notation<\/a> for Emmanuel<\/em>.
\nMore Christmas songs<\/a> for all ages.
