Immanuel is God with me
God with Us
Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCXIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Emmanuel is God with me Lyrics: 1 Emmanuel is God with me,
In our exalted Lamb;
In whom I'm reconcil'd and free,
All praise attend his name.
2 His sonship proves my sin forgiv'n,
Makes my salvation sure,
Prepares for me a seat in heav'n,
And keeps my joy secure.
3 In him accepted; and, as him,
Receiv'd in realms above;
In him I triumph, soar, and swim
In everlasting love.
4 All my religion, and my life,
Art thou, my Lamb, my God;
I'm fix'd, from hence my future strife
Shall be, to praise thy blood. Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testatment Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Languages: English

James Relly
1722 - 1778 Author of "Immanuel is God with me" in Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs James Relly was born about 1722 at Jeffreston, Pembrokeshire, Wales, and died in 1778. He was converted to Christianity during the Great Awakening ushered in by George Whitefield. He worked under George Whitefield as a Calvinistic Methodist preacher and missionary. However, Whitefield and Relly separated ways over Relly's seemingly universalist teaching that all humanity was elect (i.e. saved) when Christ took the punishment for all sin when he died. He also departed from both the Calvinists and Methodists by taking the doctrine of Justification further, in teaching that believers no longer sin and the Law's sole purpose is to condemn humanity and point them to Christ.
He was the mentor of John Murray, the founder of the Universalist Church of America. Relly along with his brother John wrote Christian Hymns, Poems and Spiritual Songs in 1758, which John Murray had republished in America in 1776.
