33 All Praise to You, Eternal God

1 All praise to you, eternal God! Now clothed in human flesh and blood, You took a manger for your throne While worlds on worlds are yours alone. Alleluia! 2 Once did the skies before you bow; A virgin's arms contain you now. While angels, who in you rejoice, Now listen for your infant voice. Alleluia! 3 O little Child, you were our guest That weary ones in you might rest; Forlorn and lowly was your birth That we might rise to heav'n from earth. Alleluia! 4 You came to us in darkest night To make us children of the light, Like angels in the realms divine Around your throne we, too, will shine. Alleluia! 5 All this your love for us has done; By this our love for you is won; For this our joyful songs we raise And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise. Alleluia!
