All Praise to Jesus' Hallowed Name

from Walter's Geistliche Gesangbüchlein, 1524; German; Luther, Martin (1483-1546); Massie, Richard (1800-1887)
Verse 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. Hallelujah!
Verse 2
Th' Eternal Father's only Son For a manger leaves His throne Disguised in our poor flesh and blood See now the everlasting Good.
Verse 3
He whom the world could not inwrap Yonder lies in Mary's lap; He is become an infant small, Who by His might upholdeth all.
Verse 4
Th' Eternal Light, come down from heav'n, Hath to us new sunshine giv'n; It shineth in the midst of night, And maketh us the sons of light.
Verse 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.
Verse 6
He came to earth so mean and poor, Man to pity and restore, And make us rich in heaven above, Equal with angels through his love.
Verse 7
All this He did to show His grace To our poor and sinful race; For this let Christendom adore And praise His name for evermore.
