Who is He in yonder stall,
At whose feet the shepherds fall?
Chorus:
‘Tis the Lord! O wondrous story!
‘Tis the Lord the King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall—
Crown Him, crown Him Lord of all!
Who is He in deep distress,
Fasting in the wilderness?
Who is He that stands and weeps
At the grave where Lazarus sleeps?
Lo! at midnight, who is He
Prays in dark Gethsemane?
Who is He in Calvary’s throes,
Asks for blessing on His foes?
Who is He that from the grave
Comes to heal, and bless, and save?
Lo! ascending, who is He
Captive leads captivity?
Who is He on yonder throne,
Rules the world of light alone?
