-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 Saviour?
-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!}}
