"Let All Together Praise Our God"
by Nikolaus Herman (Praise God the Lord, Ye Sons of Men)
Translated by August Crull, 1845-1923
1. Let all together praise our God
COME-ON #ALLPRAISE OUR GOD
TOGETHER
Before His highest throne;
FACING HIS EXALT THRONE
Today He opens heaven again
TODAY HE OPEN HEAVEN AGAIN
And gives us His own Son.
GIVE-US HIS OWN SON
2. He leaves His heavenly Father's throne,
HE LEAVES HIS HEAVEN FATHER
HIS THRONE
Is born an infant small,
BECOME BORN SMALL BABY
And in a manger, poor and lone
IN MANGER | <POOR | LONELY>
Lies in a humble stall.
LIES IN HUMBLE ANIMAL-FENCE
3. He veils in flesh His power divine
HE COVER WITH FLESH HIS HOLY
POWER
A servant's form to take;
TAKING SERVANT BODY
In want and lowliness must die
IN WANT | HUMILITY HE MUST DIE
Who heaven and earth did make.
HE MADE <HEAVEN | EARTH>
4. A wondrous change which He does make!
HE MAKES WONDROUS CHANGE
He takes our flesh and blood,
HE TAKE-UP OUR <FLESH | BLOOD>
And He conceals for sinners' sake
FOR US SINNERS | HE HIDE
His majesty as God.
HIS MAJESTY AS GOD
5. He serves that I a lord may be -----
HE SERVES WHY? | I BECOME LORD
A great exchange indeed!
GREAT SUBSTITUTE | WOW!
Could Jesus' love do more for me
CAN JESUS HIS LOVE DO MORE FOR ME?
To help me in my need?
HELP-ME IN MY NEED
6. For us He opens wide the door
FOR US HE OPENS-WIDE DOOR
Of Paradise today;
FOR HEAVEN TODAY
The angel guards the gate no more,
ANGEL DOESN’T GUARD GATE FROM-NOW-
ON
To God our thanks we pay.
______t______
OUR THANKS | WE OFFER-TO-GOD
