Emanuel
“Come, O Come,” we sing
Emanuel
come be our King
Emanuel
God born below
Emanuel
with seeds to sow
a babe
an infant
Emanuel
small, soft, warm
God in human form
a boy
a youth
Emanuel
He begins to show
a destiny His parents know
a youth
a man
Emanuel
His Father’s work
He’ll never shirk
a man
a rabbi
Emanuel
with healing hands
comes to touch
not make a stand
Emanuel
He’s been betrayed
taken roughly
as He prayed
Emanuel
shows no fight
shows no power
shows no might
Emanuel
God with us
hangs bruised and beaten
all is lost
Emanuel
He’s in the tomb
and we’re all hiding in a room
Emanuel
is this your plan?
Maybe God shouldn’t be a man
Glory shines from
an empty tomb
and none can ever sing our doom
for God was man–Emanuel
and now He’s conquered death as well
O come, O come Emanuel
and ransom captive, Israel
again.
–Mary Beth
Posted in Poem | Tagged Christmas Poem, Come of Come Emanuel, Imanuel |
It was love, mere love; it was free love that brought the Lord Jesus Christ into our world. What, shall we not remember the birth of our Jesus? Shall we yearly celebrate the birth of our temporal king, and shall that of the King of Kings be quite forgotten? Shall that only, which ought to be had chiefly in remembrance, be quite forgotten? God forbid!
No, my dear brethren, let us celebrate and keep this festival of our church with joy in our hearts: let the birth of a Redeemer, which redeemed us from sin, from wrath, from death, from hell, be always remembered; may this Savior’s love never be forgotten! But may we sing forth all his love and glory as long as life shall last here, and through an endless eternity in the world above! May we chant forth the wonders of redeeming love and the riches of free grace, amidst angels and archangels, cherubim and seraphim, without intermission, forever and ever!
And as, my brethren, the time for keeping this festival is approaching, let us consider our duty in the true observation thereof, of the right way for the glory of God, and the good of immortal souls, to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ; an event which ought to be had in eternal remembrance.
