EN 3677 Praise God the Lord, Ye Sons of Men
Luke.2.11
Versi Version 1
1
Praise God the Lord, ye sons of men,
Before His highest throne;
Today He opens Heav’n again
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.
3
He veils in flesh His power divine
A servant’s form to take;
In want and lowliness must pine
Who Heav’n and earth did make.
4
He nestles at His mother’s breast,
Receives her tender care,
Whom angels hail with joy most blest,
King David’s royal Heir.
5
’Tis He who in these latter days
From Judah’s tribe should come,
By Whom the Father would upraise
The Church, His Christendom.
6
A wondrous change which He does make!
He takes our flesh and blood,
And He conceals for sinners’ sake
His majesty of God.
7
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?
8
He opens us again the door
Of paradise today;
The angel guards the gate no more
To God our thanks we pay.
