IMMANUEL.

By C. E. W.

Of all the precious names our Saviour bears, Immanuel is the dearest; On the ear it falls Like a sweet message from those distant spheres, Unknown to pain, unseen through tears.

"God with us." Of a time it seems to tell When weary toil, And sinful strife as well, Must pass away. Then shall the stricken earth Receive the blessing promised at her birth.

"Immanuel's Land" her name. They who enter there Are healed of many a scar And every tear-stained battle mark Where they have met the foe. Past is all fear. In that fair land there is no death, no sin, no tear.

—C. E. W., in Christian Observer.
