“Emmanuel”

By Dr. Monsell

Sweet, sacred name, that, like a spell, Rests round this heart — Emmanuel! Watchword of peace, and sign of love, ’Twixt man below and God above; Best blessing of redemption thus To be assured of — “God with us!”
“God with us,” in our hour of need; “God with us,” his own blood to plead; “God with us,” as our guide and stay, To hear, to answer, when we pray: And make us feel what joy ’tis thus To be assured of, “God with us!”
Let hell combine and men oppose; Though Satan with his host of foes, Heights, principalities, and powers, Seek to despoil this hope of ours, They cannot, dare not, harm, while this We are assured of, “God with us.”
Lord, draw us near, that we may be, Forever walking close with thee; That we may live as in thy sight, And love thee as our chief delight, And, taught by faith, may ever thus Retain thee as the “God with us.”
— Dr. Monsell.
