Meaning:
I will praise You forever,
O my Savior.
You alone will I glorify forever.
For the grace You have shown
to this unworthy and lowly servant,
O earthly King,
who am I that You should accept me?
1
O Emmanuel, King,
who came forth from the lineage of King David,
I long to sing before Your presence
with reverence and preparation.
Lift me up, O Most High,
and draw me closer to You.
2
O Wonderful One,
O boundless ocean of blessing,
O Jesus, my sovereign Lord,
joy of the whole creation,
Leader of all people,
Lord of the entire universe.
3
You who redeemed this servant,
You who transformed a slave
and clothed me with honor,
You who dwell in the flesh,
keep me, Your servant,
under Your banner each day,
and guard me in victory.
