All praise to thee, Eternal Lord

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Anonymous, 1858 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #21 (1958) Person Name: Thomas Tallis, c. 1505 - 85 Lyrics: 1 All praise to thee, Eternal Lord, Clothed in a garb of flesh and blood; Choosing a manger for thy throne, While worlds on worlds are thine alone. 2 Once did the skies before thee bow, A Virgin's arms contain thee now; Angels, who did in thee rejoice, Now listen for thine infant voice. 3 A little child, thou art our guest, That weary ones in thee may rest; Forlorn and lowly is thy birth, That we may rise to heaven from earth. 4 Thou comest in the darksome night, To make us children of the light, To make us in the realms divine, Like thine own angels, 'round thee shine. 5 All this for us thy love hath done, By this to thee our love is won, For this we tune our cheerful lays, And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise.

But, Lord, thy Church is praying yet, A thousand years the same. 2 We mark her goodly battlements And her foundations strong: We hear, within, the solemn voice Of her unending song. 3 For not like kingdoms of the world Thy holy Church, O God, Though earthquake shocks are threatening her, And tempests are abroad; 4 Unshaken as eternal hills, Immovable she stands, A mountain that shall fill the earth, A house not made with hands.

I came to Jesus and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, 'I am this dark world's light; Look unto me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright.' I looked to Jesus, and I found In him my star, my sun; And in that light of life I'll walk Till traveling days are done.

Taylor, 1883-1954 Lyrics: 1 O God of Light, thy word, a lamp unfailing, Shines through the darkness of our earthly way, O'er fear and doubt, o'er black despair prevailing, Guiding our steps to thine eternal day. 2 From days of old, through swiftly rolling ages, Thou hast revealed thy will to mortal men, Speaking to saints, to prophets, kings and sages, Who wrote the message with immortal pen. 3 Undimmed by time, the word is still revealing To sinful men thy justice and thy grace; And questing hearts that long for peace and healing See thy compassion in the Saviour's face. 4 To all the world the message thou art sending, To every land, to every race and clan; And myriad tongues, in one great anthem blending, Acclaim with joy thy wondrous gift to man.

Still may we stand before thy face, Still hear and do thy sovereign will; To thee may all our thoughts arise A true and ceaseless sacrifice. Amen.
