They Shall Call His Name Immanuel › Representative Texts

1 Let earth and heaven combine,
angels and men agree,
to praise in songs divine
the incarnate Deity,
our God contracted to a span,
incomprehensibly made man.

2 He laid his glory by,
he wrapped him in our clay;
unmarked by human eye,
the latent Godhead lay;
infant of days he here became,
and bore the mild Immanuel’s name.

3 Unsearchable the love
that hath the Saviour brought;
the grace is far above
or men or angel's thought:
suffice for us that God, we know,
our God, is manifest below.

4 He deigns in flesh to ’appear,
widest extremes to join;
to bring our vileness near,
and make us all divine:
and we the life of God shall know,
for God is manifest below.

5 Made perfect first in love,
and sanctified by grace,
we shall from earth remove,
and see his glorious face:
then shall his love be fully showed,
and man shall then be lost in God.

CPWI Hymnal #74

1 Let earth and heav'n combine,
angels and men agree,
to praise in songs divine
th'incarnate Deity;
Our God contracted to a span,
our God contracted to a span,
incomprehensibly made man.

2 He laid His glory by,
He wrapped Him in our clay;
unmarked by human eye,
the latent Godhead lay;
Infant of days He here became,
Infant of days He here became,
and bore the mild Immanuel’s name.

3 Unsearchable the love
that hath the Savior brought;
the grace is far above
all man or angel thought;
Suffice for us that God, we know,
suffice for us that God we know
our God is manifest below.

4 He deigns in flesh to’appear,
widest extremes to join;
to bring our vileness near,
and make us all divine;
And we the life of God shall know,
and we the life of God shall know,
for God is manifest below.

5 Made perfect first in love,
and sanctified by grace;
we shall from earth remove,
and see His glorious face;
Then shall His love be fully shown,
then shall his love be fully shown,
and man shall then be lost in God.

Our Great Redeemer's Praise #177

1. Let earth and Heaven combine,
Angels and men agree,
To praise in songs divine
The incarnate Deity,
Our God contracted to a span,
Incomprehensibly made man.

2. He laid His glory by,
He wrapped Him in our clay;
Unmarked by human eye,
The latent Godhead lay;
Infant of days He here became,
And bore the mild Immanuel’s name.

3. See in that infant’s face
The depths of deity,
And labor while ye gaze
To sound the mystery
In vain; ye angels gaze no more,
But fall, and silently adore.

4. Unsearchable the love
That hath the Savior brought;
The grace is far above
Of men or angels’ thought:
Suffice for us that God, we know,
Our God, is manifest below.

5. He deigns in flesh t’appear,
Widest extremes to join;
To bring our vileness near,
And make us all divine:
And we the life of God shall know,
For God is manifest below.

6. Made perfect first in love,
And sanctified by grace,
We shall from earth remove,
And see His glorious face:
His love shall then be fully showed,
And man shall all be lost in God.
