What do you think this poem is about?

Immanuel

God with us Immanuel
came down with man to dwell.
For a virgin has given birth
to the Son of God upon the earth.

All the prophets born of old
of the Saviours birth had foretold.
God incarnate He would be
and from all sin will set us free.

All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had said through the prophet: 'The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel'—which means, 'God with us.'
