Author: Paul Gerhardt; Unknown Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #140 (1899) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes Lyrics: 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.
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!
3 Now art Thou here: we know Thee now:
In lowly manger liest Thou;
A Child, yet makest all things great;
Poor, yet is earth Thy robe of state.
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.
Amen. Topics: Christ Emmanuel; Christ Our Guest; Christ Humiliation of; Christ Praise to; Immanuel; Praise To Christ Languages: English Tune Title: ERFURT
