No Eye Had Seen

One of my favorite Christmas albums has been Michael W. Smith's "Christmas". He first Christmas album and a great one at that. Seems like I can never get tired of the music, and it was on this album that we first heard Agnus Dei which has become a poplular praise song recently. Today's song from that album is "No Eye Had Seen", I just listened to it and it brought a tear to my eye. Michael and Amy Grant did a great colaboration on this song.

No eye had seen
No ear had heard
'Til hosts on high
Proclaimed the
birth
And heav'n brough down
(Quietly with no one watching)
Its only
child
(From the womb of perfect peace)
The son of man
(Wellspring of
our joy delivered)
The world reconciled
(Into earthly destiny)
And
song broke forth
Angelic strain
And none could help
But sing the
name
Emmanuel
(Kyrie eleison we sing)
Emmanuel
(Glory to the
newborn King)
Emmanuel
(Mortal and immortal voices)
Emmanuel
(Endless praises echoing)
