What mighty hero comes from far,
Laden with all the spoils of war;
In state he travels o’er the plains,
And hostile blood his vesture stains.
How full of majesty his face,
Adorned with each attractive grace;
His purple robes, his victories show,
Who is this mighty conqueror, who!
‘Tis I, Immanuel is my name;
Let Edom’s land my power proclaim!
There, slaughtered foes o’erspread the fields,
And every place a triumph yields.
Let not the trophies which I bear,
Fill Israel with desponding fear;
I who am mighty to subdue,
Am strong to save and succour too.
