        (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1927), p. 133



        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
        Is now the everlasting Good.
        Hallelujah!

        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.
        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 ever blest,
        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 despised and poor,
        Man to pity and restore
        And make us rich in heaven above,
        The angels' equal, through His love.
        Hallelujah!

        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.
        Hallelujah!
