Immanuel, oh sweet word!
My Jesus is my shepherd,
my Jesus is my life.
My Jesus has given himself to me,
my Jesus shall evermore hover before my eyes;
my Jesus is my joy,
my Jesus restores heart and breast.
From Christmas Oratorio, J.S. Bach, 1734
Part IV, "For the Feast of Circumcision" (New Year's Day)
