41 Let All Together Praise Our God

1 Let all together praise our God Before his highest throne; Today he opens heav'n again And gives us his own Son, And gives us his own Son. 2 He leaves his heav'nly Father's throne, Is born an infant small And in a manger, poor and lone, Lies in a humble stall, Lies in a humble stall. 3 He veils in flesh his pow'r divine A servant's form to take; In want and lowliness must die Who heav'n and earth did make, Who heav'n and earth did make. 4 A wondrous change which he does make: He takes our flesh and blood, And he conceals for sinners' sake His majesty as God, His majesty as God. 5 He serves that I a lord may be— A great exchange indeed! Could Jesus' love do more for me To help me in my need, To help me in my need? 6 For us he opens wide the door Of paradise today. The angel guards the gate no more; To God our thanks we pay, To God our thanks we pay.
