Gentle mary laid her child

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 saviour?
Ask the saved of all the race
Who have found His favour.

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!
