Gentle Mary laid her Child
lowly in a manger;
There He lay, the undefiled,
to the world a Stranger:
Such a Babe in such a place,
can He be the Savior?
Ask the saved of all the race
who have found His favor.
Angels sang about His birth;
wise men sought and found Him;
Heaven’s star shone brightly forth,
glory all around Him:
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight,
heard the angels singing;
All the plains were lit that night,
all the hills were ringing.
Gentle Mary laid her Child
lowly in a manger;
He is still the undefiled,
but no more a stranger:
Son of God, of humble birth,
beautiful the story;
Praise His Name in all the earth,
hail the King of glory!
