All Praise to Thee, Eternal Lord

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 110 hymnals 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.

My heart shall triumph in my Lord, And bless his works, and bless his word; Thy works of grace, how bright they shine! How deep thy counsels, how divine! Then shall I see, and hear, and know All I desired or wished below; And every power find sweet employ In that eternal world of joy.
