Angels, from the Realms of Glory
Immanuel
Appears in 82 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:23 First Line: God with us! O glorious name! Lyrics: 1 God with us! O glorious name!
Let it shine in endless fame:
God and man in Christ unite,
O mysterious depth and height!
2 God with us! amazing love
Brought him from his courts above;
Now, ye saints, his grace admire,
Swell the song with holy fire.
3 God with us! but tainted not
With the first transgressor's blot;
Yet did he our sins sustain,
Bear the guilt, the curse, the pain.
4 [God with us! O blissful theme!
Let the impious not blaspheme,
Jesus shall in judgment sit,
Dooming rebels to the pit.]
5 God with us! O wondrous grace!
Let us see him face to face,
That we may Immanuel sing,
As we ought, our God and King.

"His name Jesus"
Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 545 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:21 First Line: Jesus! I love thy charming name Lyrics: 1 Jesus! I love thy charming name,
'Tis music to mine ear;
Fain would I sound it out so loud,
That earth and heaven should hear.
2 Yes!--thou art precious to my soul,
My transport and my trust;
Jewels, to thee, are gaudy toys,
And gold is sordid dust.
3 All my capacious powers can wish,
In thee doth richly meet;
Not mine eyes is light so dear,
Nor friendship half so sweet.
4 Thy grace still dwells upon my heart,
And sheds its fragrance there;--
The noblest balm of all its wounds,
The cordial of its care. Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Jesus; Christians Love for Christ; Communion of Saints With Christ Used With Tune: HOLY CROSS
