Who is He in yonder stall
At whose feet the shepherds fall?
Refrain
'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 yonder cot
Bending to His toilsome lot?
Refrain
Who is He, in deep distress,
Fasting in the wilderness?
Refrain
Who is He that stands and weeps
At the grave where Lazarus sleeps?
Refrain
Lo, at midnight who is He
Prays in dark Gethsemane?
Refrain
Who is He in Calvary's throes
Asks for blessings on His foes?
Refrain
Who is He that from the grave
Comes to heal and help and save?
Refrain
Who is He that from yon throne
Rules the world of light alone?
