Emmanuel Emmanu-el-el
Emmanuel, Your name be praised
Emmanuel, Emmanu-el-el

When we call in Your name

You are Godo with us
And the God who is in us

Godo with us and God in us
You deserve the highest praise

Redeemer of my soul and
You are the keeper of my heart
Oh Emmanuel I praise Your name
Emmanuel, Your name be praised
Emmanuel Emmanu-el-el
Emmanuel, Your name be praised
Emmanuel, Emmanu-el-el
Emmanuel, Your name be praised

Meaning & Inspiration
Emmanuel is a worship song built around the biblical name meaning God with His people. Its repeated praise keeps attention on divine presence rather than on a detailed story. The lyric describes calling on the name of Emmanuel and recognizing God within the gathered community, a theme that closely reflects the promise associated with Jesus in Matthew 1:23 and His assurance of presence among those gathered in His name.
The later lines broaden that confession by naming Emmanuel as redeemer, guardian of the heart, and worthy of the highest praise. Repetition gives the song the form of sustained adoration, while the movement from God with His people to God dwelling in them links nearness with inward spiritual life. First Corinthians 3:16 offers a fitting biblical connection to that language of indwelling. The central response is simple and consistent: because God is present, redeeming, and keeping the soul, His name deserves praise.
