Lyrics
Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
- Listen [ Real Audio | Mp3 ]
- Read [ Hymn Details | Sheet Music ]
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!
