                         by Martin Luther, 1483-1546

          (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1883), pp. 20-21



        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!

        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.
        Hallelujah!

        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.
        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 everblest,
        In the world became a guest;
        He leads us from this vale of tears,
        And makes us in his kingdom heirs.
        Hallelujah!

        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.
        Hallelujah!

        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.
        Hallelujah!
