IMMANUEL

By Flora E. Warren

"They shall call His name Immanuel." Matt. 1:23.
By FLORA E. WARREN
Earth's Egypt night has seen a wondrous dawning; A glorious light is shining from afar; Angelic voices sing glad news from heaven, And tell of One who's born—where shepherds are. Peace on the earth! good will to men is given! "Peace on the earth!" the mighty angels tell; Born unto all by sin's wild tempest riven, Immanuel! Immanuel!
Tho some slept on, a few knew glad awaking, Their lone hearts filled with gladness, peace, and rest. Forevermore, through Him shall ev'ry nation And ev'ry family on the earth be blest. "Peace unto all!" the chorus now is swelling. Hear thou, my soul, the message angels tell; Find in my heart a place to make Thy dwelling, Immanuel! Immanuel!
He'll fill the saddened heart with songs of gladness; He'll loose the captive's iron chains of sin; The thirsty soul shall drink of life's pure fountain, The weary find Immanuel within. Peace on the earth! O, sound the joyful story! "Peace unto thee!" the mighty angels tell. All and in all—"God with us" now and ever, Immanuel! Immanuel!
Peace on the earth! whoe'er shall hear the story! Peace unto all, help me, O Lord, to tell; Be Thou our hope, our soul's rejoicing ever, Immanuel! Immanuel!
