Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
Author: Joseph Simpson Cook (1919)
Tune: TEMPUS ADEST FLORIDUM
Gentle Mary laid her child
Lowly in a manger;
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.
Who have found His favor.
Angels sang about His birth,
Wise Men sought and found Him;
Wise Men sought and found Him;
Heaven’s star shone brightly forth
Glory all around Him.
Glory all around Him.
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight,
Heard the angels singing;
Heard the angels singing;
All the plains were lit that night,
All the hills were ringing.
All the hills were ringing.
Gentle Mary laid her child
Lowly in a manger;
Lowly in a manger;
He is still the Undefiled
But no more a stranger.
But no more a stranger.
Son of God of humble birth,
Beautiful the story;
Beautiful the story;
Praise His name in all the earth;
Hail the King of glory!
Hail the King of glory!
