All hail and praise

All hail and praise

Sung by Ralph Thomas, Ashton-under-hill, Evesham, Worcestershire

recorded by Peter Duddridge, May 1958

1. All hail and praise the sacred morn
   Behold the Son of God was born
   Sweet hallelujahs let us sing
   To Jesus Christ our heavenly king
   
2. See how our bounteous gifts of Heaven
   This day to all mankind is given
   Oh happy day, mankind rejoice
   And praise Him with a cheerful voice
   
3. See how our blessed Saviour lay
   Within a manger filled with hay
   Whilst spotless innocence divine
   Did on His sacred temple shine
   
4. But now the great Messiah reign
   Where angels sing in heavenly strain
   Where great Jehovah dwells on high
   Above the regions of the sky
