the Word became flesh and dwelt among us

Christ by highest heav'n adored

Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come

Offspring of a Virgin's womb

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see

Hail the incarnate Deity

Pleased as man with man to dwell

Jesus, our Emmanuel

Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King.

Emmanuel means "God with us". 
God, through Jesus Christ, came to dwell with us and die for us so that the gulf between sinful man and holy God might be bridged. So that by believing on the name of Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Son of Man, who rose from the dead after three days, who is Lord over all creation—yes, that by believing in Jesus Christ we might have eternal life! Repent and believe the Gospel.

Oh to be with Him always. To be in Him always. 
The one and only God who loves us so.
Through Jesus, our Emmanuel. 
God with us.

"And the Word (Jesus Christ) became became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:14

Merry Christmas.
