CLXXIV. Immanuel

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! amazing love
Brought him from his courts above;
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 blissful theme!
Let the impious not blaspheme,
Jesus shall in judgment sit,
Dooming rebels to the pit.]

5 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.
