Who is He in yonder stall
117
7.7.Ref.
1 Who is He in yonder stall,
At whose feet the shepherds fall?
Tis the Lord! O wondrous story!
Tis the Lord! The King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall,
Crown Him! Crown Him, Lord of all!
2 Who is He in deep distress,
Fasting in the wilderness?
3 Who is He the people bless
For His words of gentleness?
4 Who is He to whom they bring
All the sick and sorrowing?
5 Who is He that stands and weeps
At the grave where Lazarus sleeps?
6 Who is He the gathering throng
Greet with loud triumphant song?
7 Lo! At midnight, who is He
Prays in dark Gethsemane?
8 Who is He, in yonder tree
Dies in grief and agony?
9 Who is He who from the grave,
Comes to heal and help and save?
10 Who is He who from His throne
Rules through all the world alone?
