Wartburg Hymnal ‎#93

93. Immanuel! we sing Thy praise

1 Immanuel! we sing Thy praise,
Thou Prince of Life! Thou Fount of grace!
With all Thy saints, Thee, Lord, we sing;
Praise, honor, thanks, to Thee we bring!
Hallelujah!

2 E’er since the world began to be,
How many a heart hath longed for Thee!
And Thou, O long expected Guest,
Hast come at last to make us blest!
Hallelujah!

3 Now art Thou here; we know Thee now;
In lowly manger liést Thou:
A child, yet makest all things great;
Poor, yet the earth Thy robe of state.
Hallelujah!

4 Now fearless I can look on Thee:
From sin and grief Thou set'st me free:
Thou bearest wrath, Thou conquerest death,
Fear turns to joy Thy glance beneath.
Hallelujah!

5 Thou art my Head, my Lord divine:
I am Thy member, wholly Thine;
And by Thy Spirit’s strength would still
Serve Thee according to Thy will.
Hallelujah!

6 Thus will I sing Thy praises here,
With joyful spirit year by year;
And when we reckon years no more,
May I in heaven Thy name adore.
Hallelujah!
