"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him Emmanuel." Isaiah 7:14
Words: D. R. Van Sickle, 1910, alt. Van Sickle, a non-believer, wrote the song to prove that one doesn't have to be a Christian to write a Christian song. However, God, with His great patience, turned the tables on him. Years later, Van Sickle was sitting in a service where a choir sang his hymn. He came under conviction and gave his heart to Christ!
Music: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel, 1910
