Hymn 23

1. Let us of Christ our Lord and Saviour sing,
   for, though God’s equal, though eternal King,
   he did not to his rightful glory cling.
   Hallelujah, hallelujah!
   
   
2. Himself he emptied, that he us might save;
   himself for us, God’s chosen ones, he gave,
   and, born as man, our LORD became a slave.
   Hallelujah, hallelujah!
   
   
3. He bore the weakness of our human frame
   and he obedient unto death became,
   for on a cross he died, in bitter shame.
   Hallelujah, hallelujah!
   
   
4. God therefore raised him to the heav’nly heights,
   bestowed on him, the LORD of life and light,
   the name surpassing every name in might.
   Hallelujah, hallelujah!
   
   
5. Let at the name of Jesus every knee,
   from heav’n above to depths below the sea,
   now humbly bow before his majesty.
   Hallelujah, hallelujah!
   
   
6. Let every tongue confess that Christ is King,
   for he is LORD of all created things.
   So to the praise of God the Father sing:
   Hallelujah, hallelujah!
