The Fullness of Time Lyrics

Through all the anxious ages

We had waited for the Son

Who would bind up what's been broken

Who would give us peace with God

We had waited for the One who's government shall never end

We had waited for the stump to sprout a holy, righteous branch

To turn our waiting into rest

The promises of God, each one of them will find it's yes

In the fullness of time, all the work shall be done

Emmanuel will come

Then on the day appointed

Came the Word of life and light

Veiled in flesh he dwelt among us

We have seen His glory shine

For the virgin bore a Son and in a manger He was laid

With the angels and the shepherds we will worship Him and say

He's turned our waiting in rest

The promises of God, each one of them has found it's yes

In the fullness of time came the light of the Son

Emmanuel has come

Now we hold on to the promise

You'll complete what You began

Cradle, cross, and resurrection

Leads to kingdom without end

We endure the heavy trial and we fix our eyes on You

You have come and You will come again, the promises are true

You'll turn our waiting into rest

The promises of God, each one of them will find it's yes

In the fullness of time You'll return for your bride

Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel will come
