ALL HAIL TO THEE, IMMANUEL
"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will
call Him Emmanuel." Isaiah 7:14
Words: D.R. Van Sickle, 1910, alt. Van Sickle, a non-believer, wrote
the song to prove that one doesn't have to be a Christian to write a
Christian song. However, God, infinitely patient, turned the tables on
him. Years later, Van Sickle was sitting in a service where a choir sang
his hymn. He came under conviction and gave his heart to Christ!
Music: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel, 1910.
All hail to Thee, Immanuel, we cast our crowns before Thee;
Let every heart obey Thy will, and every voice adore Thee.
In praise to Thee, our Savior King, the vibrant chords of heaven ring,
And echo back the mighty strain: All hail! All hail! All hail Immanuel!
Refrain
Hail to the King we love so well! Immanuel! Immanuel!
Hail to the King we love so well! Immanuel! Immanuel!
Glory and honor and majesty, wisdom and power be unto Thee,
Now and evermore!
Hail to the King we love so well! Immanuel! Immanuel!
Hail to the King we love so well! Immanuel! Immanuel!
King of kings and Lord of lords, all hail, Immanuel!
All hail to Thee, Immanuel, the ransomed hosts surround Thee;
And earthly monarchs clamor forth their sovereign King to crown Thee.
While those redeemed in ages gone, assembled round the great white
throne,
Break forth into immortal song: All hail! All hail! All hail Immanuel!
Refrain
All hail to Thee, Immanuel, our risen King and Savior!
Thy foes are vanquished, and Thou art omnipotent forever.
Death, sin and hell no longer reign, and Satan's pow'r is burst in
twain;
Eternal glory to Thy Name: All hail! All hail! All hail Immanuel!
