A weary world, a muted cry
uncertain plans and pleas denied
But then a star, unearthly bright
a glimpse of dawn, a new-found light
The thrill of hope, a hope of promise
Behold the birth of joy and solace
The birth of love, the gift of life
Behold a child, a born delight.
The world in need calls out once more
prayers for relief, pleas for a cure
And then he comes, the world rejoices
Emmanuel, we raise our voices
His people stand, as one we sing
to our Messiah, our Saviour King.
