Through Christ only
the new King from David
the Messiah prophesied
who came to the earth
Only through Jesus
the wolf and the lamb
will lay down
together in peace
Only in the Christ-child
the man who climbed Calvary
only in our Savior
is the breached healed
Only Emmanuel
God with us
able to remove the stain
to free us from death
