Author: N. Herman, 1480-1561; A. Crull, 1845-1923 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 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, 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 pine Who heav'n and earth did make, 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, 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, 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, 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, To help me in my need? 8 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.

Lo, he assumes our flesh and blood, And we of heaven partake, And we of heaven partake. 4 The glorious gates of paradise The angel guards no more; This day again those gates unfold.

Amen. Topics: Joy Used With Tune: [Hark! the glad sound! the Saviour comes]
