[Call] Two embers smoked and the palace shook, Stand quiet, stand firm, do not borrow their dread; If you will not believe, you will not stand, [Response] The king read fear like a sealed war book. A plot built in shadow will fall where it spread. Yet a child-sign rises in a threatened land. [Verse 1] Immanuel, over counsel and sword, God is with us; the future belongs to the LORD. A name on a tablet ran faster than war, [Call] Spoil speeds near and the flood climbs the shore. Still nations may whisper and armies may scheme, [Response] Their counsel will break like a fevered dream. Children become signs in the darkening dust, [Final Chorus] If you will not believe, you will not stand, Yet a child-sign rises in a threatened land. God is with us, and in him we stand or fall.
