210. Immanuel! God With Us

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.
