Hymn - anyone else hear of it?



ALL HAIL, ALL HAIL

I.

All hail, all hail Emmanuel
The newborn King of Israel
The Lord of Angels, Prince of Men
Come forth to free the world from sin.

II.

Behold the angel Gabriel came
Before the Virgin to proclaim
His coming and His Sacred Name
All hail, all hail Emmanuel

III.

To shepherds watching in dark of night
The herald choirs sang of His Light
And an eastern star in heaven aflame
Disclosed to kings His Endless Reign

IV.

O lowly, wretched, ill-esteemed
And fallen men, though lost ye seemed
By God Incarnate be ye redeemed
All hail, all hail Emmanuel



Pretty hymn. I seem to remember it went to the tune of The Glory of These Forty Days, which is odd since that's definitely a hymn for Lent.
