They Shall Call His Name Immanuel

Verse 1

Let earth and heaven combine, angels and men agree, to praise in songs divine the incarnate Deity, our God contracted to a span, incomprehensibly made man.

Verse 2

He laid his glory by, he wrapped him in our clay; unmarked by human eye, the latent Godhead lay; infant of days he here became, and bore the mild Immanuel’s name.

Verse 3

Unsearchable the love that hath the Saviour brought; the grace is far above or men or angel's thought: suffice for us that God, we know, our God, is manifest below.

Verse 4

He deigns in flesh to ’appear, widest extremes to join; to bring our vileness near, and make us all divine: and we the life of God shall know, for God is manifest below.

Verse 5

Made perfect first in love, and sanctified by grace, we shall from earth remove, and see his glorious face: then shall his love be fully showed, and man shall then be lost in God.
