The Cyber Hymnal ‎#2078

2078. God with Us! O Glorious Name!

1. God with us! O glorious name!
Let it shine in endless fame:
God and man in Christ unite;
O mysterious depth and height!

2. God with us! the eternal Son
Took our soul, our flesh, and bone;
Now, ye saints, His grace admire,
Swell the song with holy fire.

3. God with us! but tainted not
With the first transgressor’s blot;
Yet did He our sins sustain,
Bear the guilt, the curse, the pain.

4. God with us! O wondrous grace!
Let us see Him face to face;
That we may Immanuel sing,
As we ought, our God and king!
