Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Isang dalaga'y maglilihi batang lalake ang sanggol
Tatawagin siyang Emmanuel, Emmanuel

Isang dalaga'y maglilihi batang lalake ang sanggol
Tatawagin siyang Emmanuel, Emmanuel

Magalak isinilang ang Poon
Sa sabsaban siya'y nakahimlay
Nagpahayag ang mga anghel
Luwalhati sa Dios

Isang dalaga'y maglilihi batang lalake ang sanggol
Tatawagin siyang Emmanuel, Emmanuel

Nagpahayag ang mga anghel
Luwalhati sa Dios

Magalak isinilang ang Poon
Sa sabsaban siya'y nakahimlay
Nagpahayag ang mga anghel
Luwalhati sa Dios





Isang dalaga'y maglilihi batang lalake ang sanggol
Tatawagin siyang Emmanuel, Emmanuel
