Crull, 1845-1923 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise God the Lord, ye sons of men, Before His highest throne; Today He opens heav'n again And gives us His own Son, And gives us His own Son. 2 He leaves His heav'nly Father's throne, Is born an infant small, And in a manger, poor and lone, Lies in a humble stall, Lies in a humble stall. 3 He veils in flesh His pow'r divine A servant's form to take; In want and lowliness must pine Who heav'n and earth did make, Who heav'n and earth did make. 4 He nestles at His mother's breast, Receives her tender care, Whom angels hail with joy most blest, King David's royal Heir, King David's royal Heir. 5 'Tis He who in these latter days From Judah's tribe should come, By whom the Father would upraise The Church, His Christendom, The Church, His Christendom. 6 A wondrous change which He does make! He takes our flesh and blood, And He conceals for sinners' sake His majesty of God, His majesty of God. 7 He serves that I a lord may be; A great exchange indeed! Could Jesus' love do more for me To help me in my need, To help me in my need? 8 For us He opens wide the door Of Paradise today; The angel guards the gate no more, To God our thanks we pay, To God our thanks we pay.
