Immanuel, God with us!
Author: Anna H. Mercur Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals 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! Used With Tune: EWING Text Sources: The Christmas Star (New York, a. E. Chasmar, 1882)
Immanuel, God with us!
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. Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Languages: English Tune Title: TESCHNER
