192. Who Is He?

1
Who is He in yonder stall,
 
At whose feet the shepherds fall?
 
‘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!
2
Who is He in deep distress,
 
Fasting in the wilderness?
3
Who is He that stands and weeps
 
At the grave where Lazarus sleeps?
4
Lo! at midnight, who is He
 
Prays in dark Gethsemane?
5
Who is He in Calvary’s throes,
 
Asks for blessing on His foes?
6
Who is He that from the grave
 
Comes to heal, and bless, and save?
7
Lo! ascending, who is He
 
Captive leads captivity?
8
Who is He on yonder throne,
 
Rules the world of light alone?
