Lyrics

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 Saviour? Ask the saved of all the race who have found His favour.
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.
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!
