Admin	O Jesu Christ, all praise to Thee Posted : 4 Dec, 2012 04:50 PM O Jesu Christ, all praise to Thee, Who art pleased a Man to be; The virgin�s womb Thou dost not scorn, And angels shout to see Thee born. Hallelujah! The eternal Father�s only Son Takes a manger for His throne; The everlasting fount of good, Assumes our mortal flesh and blood. Hallelujah! The first of all in earth or skies Now in Mary�s bosom lies; To be a little child He deigns, Who all things by Himself sustains. Hallelujah! The eternal Light to us descends, And to earth its brightness lends; Purely it shines upon our night, To make us children of the light. Hallelujah! The only Son, true God confessed, Comes to His own world a guest; And through this vale of tears our Guide, Doth in His Heaven our home provide. Hallelujah! In poorest guise to us He came, Taking all our sin and shame, That, as His heirs in Heaven above, We may with angels share His love. Hallelujah! His love to show, surpassing thought! He this wondrous work hath wrought; Then let us all unite to raise Our song of glad unceasing praise. Hallelujah! Martin Luther, 1535 (Gelobet seist du Jesu Christ); translated from German to English by Arthur T. Russell, Psalms and Hymns, 1851. *** I'm not a Luthern....however...this is a Marvelous Hymn...:yay:...I kinda wish this site had a "Singing" Icon...that would be purty cool...xo Post Reply

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing; Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God�s own choosing: Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same, And He must win the battle. And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us: The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him. That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; The body they may kill: God�s truth abideth still, His kingdom is forever.
