G                D      G
All praise to thee, eternal Lord
        C            D
Clothed in a garb of flesh and blood;
    G              D      G
Choosing A manger for thy throne,
      C                    D     G
While worlds on worlds are thine alone.

[Verse 2]
     G                D        G
Once did the skies before thee bow;
  C                D
A virgin's arms contain you now:
   G              D       G
Angels who did in thee rejoice
    C                D      G
Now listen for thine infant voice.

[Verse 3]
  G                  D       G
A little Child, thou art our guest,
     C             D
That weary ones in thee may rest;
   G              D      G
Forlorn and lowly is thy birth,
     C              D           G
That we may rise to heav'n from earth.

[Verse 4]
      G            D        G
Thou comest in the darksome night,
   C                D
To make us children of the light;
   G               D        G
To make us, in the realms divine
     C                D          G
Like thine own Angels round thee shine.

[Verse 5]
    G               D         G
All this for us thy love hath done;
   C                D
By this to thee our love is won:
    G                D      G
For this we tune our joyful lays,
    C                   D         G
And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise.
