Immanuel! Der Herr ist hier, WoO VI 17, No. 4 by Max Reger — Lyrics
Immanuel! der Herr, ist hier
und nimmt mein Fleisch an sich.
Immanuel! Ist Gott mit mir,
wer ist dann wider mich?
Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt,
dass er durch freien Trieb
den eingebornen Sohn uns gibt.
Wie hat er uns so lieb!

About Immanuel! Der Herr ist hier, WoO VI 17, No. 4
The text rejoices that God is with us in human form, questioning who could stand against us if God is for us. It praises God's love for the world in giving His only Son, highlighting this as a gift of divine love. The lyrics then address Christ as a wonderful God-man, our counsel, strength, Father, Prince of Peace, and Saviour. The hymn concludes with praise to God and His Son, a call for angels to laud Him before His throne, and for all Christendom to exalt Him in this joyful season. Max Reger's setting is for SATB choir.
