Immanuel! God With Us

Author: Paul E. Kretzmann Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #210 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: Immanuel! God with us! Lyrics: 1 Immanuel! God with us! This is our humble prayer, For sin and guilt within us Would lead us to despair. In us dwells naught but evil, but Christ's victorious pow'r Has conquered death and Satan And brought salvation's hour. 2 Immanuel! God with us! This is our cheerful boast, When Satan would assail us With all his dreadful host. Our trust we place in Jesus, In His atoning blood; His righteousness will shield us, His love guide us for good. 3 Immanuel! God with us! This is our battle-cry When unbelief would mock us And dare our trust deny. 'Tis then His might emboldens And strengthens our weak heart; 'Tis then His arm protects us From ev'ry hostile dart. 4 Immanuel! God with us! This is our final sigh When our last hour comes on us And death's dark vale is nigh. 'Tis then His love enfolds us And takes us by the hand to lead us safely homeward To our true Fatherland.

Immanuel, God with us!

Author: Anna H. Mercur Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9849 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Immanuel, God with us! Bow down, ye heavens, today! Behold a wondrous glory, The star of Bethlehem’s ray! For angels have descended With message from on high; Let all the earth keep silence, Redemption draweth nigh! 2 Strange sight for men and angels! Lo! the effulgent light Which led the holy magi Rests on Judean height! Stopped in its course celestial, O’er lowly cattle shed, Its heavenly beams illumine An infant’s manger bed. 3 O earth, with all thy kingdoms, Was there no other place Wherein to welcome Jesus, The Lord of life and grace? No room in royal palace? No spot within the inn To shield the Word made human— The God-man without sin? 4 To make men priests and monarchs, Joint heirs with Him on high, The Logos consubstantial Descendeth from the sky. Leaving the Father’s brightness, Leaving His throne of flame, He comes a helpless infant, To suffer grief and shame. 5 Depth of humiliation! Love passing all degree! Thus to restore to mortals Their immortality! Henceforth the race shall triumph, And foil the serpent’s art: The laws of stone on Sinai Be written on the heart! 6 All hail! angelic heralds Proclaiming peace on earth! Hail! gracious star of promise, Sign of a Savior’s birth! Lift up thy gates, O Zion! Sing, everlasting hills! Joy for the God incarnate The whole creation fills! Languages: English Tune Title: EWING
