Immanuel Waltz

Recording as featured on the album Favoured Chick.

Encore sheet music - melody only.

Intro: Eb, Bb, Ab, Eb, Ab, Eb, Bb, Eb

Verse 1

Eb Bb Ab Eb

The silence of a hillside, a Bethlehem night

Ab Eb/G F7 Bb

is rent by the chorus of angels in flight.

Eb Bb Ab Eb

From shepherding duties surprises and jolts,

Ab Eb/G Bb Eb

inspires the watchers in Immanuel waltz.

Verse 2

So rushing excited to the ramshackle sty

they see a baby, a crude place to lie.

A place for the poultry, donkeys and colts

becomes the place for Immanuel waltz

Eb Bb Ab Eb

Immanuel waltz, let’s join in the ball!

Ab Eb F7 Bb

We dance and we twirl, round candle-lit hall.

Eb Bb Ab Eb/G

Immanuel waltz, God with us! Amen!

Ab Eb/G

Let’s waltz around the world with

Bb Eb Bb Ab Eb

Immanuel again

Sages came from the East, observed the new sign,

followed the star, sought the King most divine.

O’er the child’s dwelling place the royal star halts.

There they join in the Immanuel waltz

Immanuel, Son of God with us on earth.

Amazing He stooped to a most humble birth!

Most Royal lamb without blemish or faults

dips once and rises in Immanuel waltz.
