All Praise to Jesus' Hallowed Name (also known as All Praise to Thee, O Jesus Christ or O Jesus Christ, All Praise to Thee or We Praise You, Jesus at Your Birth or All Praise to Thee, Eternal Lord)

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 heav'n, Hath to us new sunshine giv'n; 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 so mean and poor, Man to pity and restore, And make us rich in heaven above, Equal with angels through his love.

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.
