Gentle Mary Laid Her Child

Author: Joseph Simpson Cook Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:7-14 Lyrics: 1 Gentle Mary laid her child lowly in a manger; there he lay, the Undefiled, but no more 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. 2 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. 3 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! Topics: Christ Epiphany of Used With Tune: TEMPUS ADEST FLORIDUM
