Gentle Mary Laid Her Child

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!
