WHO is He in yonder stall,
At whose feet the shepherds fall?
’Tis the Lord! oh 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 on yonder tree
Dies in grief and agony?
9
Who is He who from the grave
Comes to succour, help, and save?
10
Who is He who from His throne
Rules through all the worlds alone?
