1 All praise to thee, for thou, O King divine,
  
didst yield your glory that of right was thine,
  
that in our darkened hearts thy grace might shine:
  
Alleluia!
2 Thou cam'st to us in lowliness of thought;
  
by thee the outcast and the poor were sought,
  
and by thy death was God's salvation wrought:
  
Alleluia!
3 Let this mind be in us which was in thee,
  
who wast a servant that we might be free,
  
humbling thyself to death on Calvary:
  
Alleluia!
4 Wherefore, by God's eternal purpose, thou
  
art high exalted o'er all creatures now,
  
and given the name to which all knees shall bow:
  
Alleluia!
5 Let every tongue confess with one accord
  
in heaven and earth that Jesus Christ is Lord;
  
and God the Father be by all adored:
  
Alleluia!
