Joanna Daniel Poet Lyric

Emmanuel

Glory to God, and peace on earth
Goodwill to all the men,
Time to recall Christ’s humble birth,
His life and death, amen! – (2)
His life, His life and death, amen!

Emmanuel, God is with us,
The King of Kings is born,
The wise men came to see Jesus,
Worship Him and adorn – (2)
Worship, worship Him and adorn; 

He came from heav’n to save us all,
Through death, be magnified,
He bled for us, and took our fall,
And on the Cross, He died - (2)
And on, and on the Cross, He died;

Christ rose again, and now alive,
Has been born in my heart,
Good news is that He did arrive,
Salvation to impart - (2)
Joyful salvation to impart.

Bill Baker December 16, 2021 at 4:38 PM I like your rendition of "Joy To The World", Jo. Good luck in the contest. It didn't work well to: "Joy to the world, all you boys and girls" ... so I tried the spiritual one...fit like a glove! Great work! Smiles ~ Blessing my friend, Bill

Victor Buhagiar December 16, 2021 at 10:06 AM Marvellous rendition of the carol. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yuletide greetings.

Andrea Dietrich December 16, 2021 at 9:23 AM oh wow, I think I saw another poet used this same tune for a religious poem as well. You did a GREAT job, Jo. This contest was sure fun!
