Author: M. Luther; R. Massie Hymnal: Church Hymnal for Lutheran Services #76 (1911) Lyrics: 1. ALL praise to Jesus' hallowed name,
Who of virgin pure became
True man for us! The angels sing,
As the glad news to earth they bring.
Have mercy, Lord.
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.
Have mercy, Lord.
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.
Have mercy, Lord.
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.
Have mercy, Lord.
5. The Father's Son, God ever blest,
In the world became a guest;
He leads us from this vale of tears,
And makes us in His kingdom heirs.
Have mercy, Lord.
6. He came to earth despised and poor,
Man to pity and restore,
And make us rich in heaven above,
Equal with angels through His love.
Have mercy, Lord.
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.
Have mercy, Lord.
