1
O Jesus Christ, all praise to Thee,
Who didst flesh assume for me,
To dwell with men Thou dost not scorn,
And angels shout to see Thee born.
Hallelujah!
2
The heavenly Father's only Son
For a manger leaves His throne;
The everlasting fount of good
Assumes our mortal flesh and blood.
Hallelujah!
3
He whom the world cannot enclose
Doth in Mary's arms repose;
To be an infant small He deigns,
Who all things by His power sustains.
Hallelujah!
4
The light of heaven to us descends,
Sunshine new to earth it lends;
And brightly shines upon our night,
To make us children of the light.
Hallelujah!
5
The Father's Son, God ever blest,
In the world became a guest;
And through this vale of tears our guide,
Doth in His heaven our home provide.
Hallelujah!
6
In poverty to earth He came,
Here to bear our sin and shame,
That as His heirs in heaven above
We may with angels share His love.
Hallelujah!
7
For us His love these wonders wrought,
Love surpassing all our thought.
Then lot us all unite to raise
Our song of glad unending praise.
Hallelujah!
