Lyrics
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
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!...
