Gifts for Emmanuel – v2

Gifts for Emmanuel

for the infant Jesus;

Unlike any gifts before

giving to our Savior.

Gifts of prophecy

of fulfillment in this baby;

King, and priest, and sacrifice

in the gifts to Jesus.

Gifts for Emmanuel

for God become flesh;

Gifts foretelling

the story of His life.
