Avalon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

O come, O come Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel

Away ina manger No crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus Lay down
His sweet head The stars in the sky Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay Asleep on the hay

O little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie Above thy deep
And dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets
Shineth The everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight Are met in thee tonigt Tonight

Silent night Holy night All is calm All is bright Round you virgin
Mother and child Holy infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly
Peace Sleep in heavenly peace In heavenly peace Be near me
Lord Jesus I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever And love me




I pray Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care And take
Us to heaven To live with Thee there Rejoice Rejoice

Avalon is anointed by the HOLY SPIRIT to sing a sincere prayer of a sinner like me

Beautiful song. I just heard it for the first time on a Christian music channel on Directv and I looked it up here and I ended up here on your page. Thanks for sharing :)

Didn't realize until now how true and accurate this song is. I would turn up my radio when this song came on because it was a  beautiful song but with where I am in Christ now and where I seek and wish to be, this song just speaks everything. Or most of what I talk about. Love this song so much.

Lord, come and fill our hearts, and lead us in your ways of truth and holiness. Help us stop doing our own thing, and put to death our ungodly desires and passions, so that Christ may live in our hears through faith and his word abound in us, refreshing and sanctifying our souls. Let your word fall like gentle refreshing rain on the dry soil of our souls

Kudos to Adam for a great video with excellent and relevant Scriptures. Thanks especially to whoever did the subtitles and included some of the overlays of the background vocals.
