Desire of the nations
You are ruler over all
Author of creation
Now in a cattle stall
And as we live and move
The nations come to prove
The wonders of your love
Now come down from above
Emmanuel abide, abide
Come and draw us to your side
In this darkness we still trust
You ransom, and you rescue us
Deliver us from fear of death
Breathe on us oh Heaven’s breath
Emmanuel abide, abide
Come and draw us to your side
You are the Root of Jesse
And you are David’s key
The Dayspring drawing nigh
Oh Sunrise from on High
Come to us oh Prince of Peace
Your blood is the Captive’s release
Come to us oh Son of Man
Come heal our sin-sick land!
Bridge
Emmanuel how long we have waited
Word of God of power and might
Very God, begotten not created
God of God, oh Light of Light
Now Behold the Lamb
Who is I AM, He is I AM.
Emmanuel abide, abide
Come and draw us to your side
In this darkness we still trust
You ransom, and you rescue us
Deliver us from fear of death
Breathe on us oh Heaven’s breath
Emmanuel abide, abide
Come and draw us to your side
