Christian Hymns ‎#166

166. All praise to Jesus' hallowed name

1 All praise to Jesus' hallowed name,
Who of virgin pure became
True man for us! The angels sing,
As they to earth the glad news bring.
Hallelujah!

2 Th'eternal Father's only Son
For a manger leaves His throne;
Disguised in our poor flesh and blood
Is now the everlasting Good.
Hallelujah!

3 He whom the world could not inclose
Doth in Mary's lap repose;
He is become an infant small,
Who by His might upholdeth all.
Hallelujah!

4 Th'eternal Light, come down from heaven,
Hath to us new sunshine given;
It shineth in the midst of night,
And maketh us the sons of light.
Hallelujah!

5 The Father's Son, God ever blest,
In the world become a guest;
He leads us from this vale of tears,
And makes us in His kingdom heirs.
Hallelujah!

6 He came to earth despised and poor,
Man to pity and restore,
And make us rich in heaven above,
With angels equal, through His love.
Hallelujah!

7 All this He did that He might prove
To us sinners His great love:
For this let Christendom adore
And praise His name forevermore.
Hallelujah!
