Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #155 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 All praise to thee, Eternal Lord,
Clothed in a garb of flesh and blood;
Choosing a manger for thy throne,
While worlds on worlds are thine alone.
2 Once did the skies before thee bow;
A Virgin's arms contain thee now:
Angels who did in thee rejoice
Now listen for thine infant voice.
3 A little Child, thou art our Guest,
That weary ones in thee may rest;
Forlorn and lowly is thy birth,
That we may rise to heav'n from earth.
4 Thou comest in the darksome night
To make us children of the light,
To make us, in the realms divine,
Like thine own angels round thee shine.
5 All this for us thy love hath done;
By this to thee our love is won:
For this we tune our cheerful lays,
And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise.
Amen. Topics: Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ Birth of; Christ Humiliation of; Christ Love and Grace of; Christ Praise of Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Languages: English Tune Title: CANONBURY
