7.7.7.7.D
All was bliss, till Adam fell
So God sent Immanuel.
God from God, with man to dwell:
Jesus our Immanuel.
All our sin had earned us hell
But God sent Immanuel.
Satan’s power to dispel
By the name Immanuel.
God whose glories all excel
Came down as Immanuel.
So we bid our pride farewell,
Kneeling to Immanuel.
Though the waves of sorrow swell
We cling to Immanuel.
And his praise we’ll ever tell:
Jesus our Immanuel.

All Was Bliss Till Adam Fell (Lift Your Voice)
This is an alternative version of the hymn written 2024, in 7.7.7.7.7.7. to pair with DIX (As With Gladness):
All was bliss, till Adam fell
So God sent Immanuel.
God from God, with man to dwell:
Jesus our Immanuel.
Lift your voice, his praises tell:
Christ is born – Immanuel!
All our sin had earned us hell
But God gave Immanuel.
Satan’s power to dispel
By the name Immanuel.
Lift your voice, his praises tell:
Christ is born – Immanuel!
God whose glories all excel
Came down as Immanuel.
So we bid our pride farewell,
Kneeling to Immanuel.
Lift your voice, his praises tell:
Christ is born – Immanuel!
Though the waves of sorrow swell
We cling to Immanuel.
One day all our storms he’ll quell,
till then trust Immanuel.
Lift your voice, his praises tell:
Christ is born – Immanuel!
