Who is He in yonder stall,
At whose feet the shepherds fall?
Who is He in deep distress,
Fasting in the wilderness?
'Tis the Lord! oh
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 the people bless
For His words of gentleness?
Who is He to whom they bring,
All the sick and sorrowing?
Tis the Lord! oh wondrous story . . .
Who is He that stands and weeps
At the grave where Lazarus sleeps?
Who is He the gathering throng
Greet with loud triumphant song?
Tis the Lord! oh wondrous story . . .
Lo! at midnight, who is He
Prays in dark Gethsemane?
Who is He on yonder tree
Dies in grief and agony?
Tis the Lord! oh wondrous story . . .
Who is He who from the grave
Comes to succour, help, and save?
Who is He who from His throne
Rules through all the worlds alone?
Tis the Lord! oh wondrous story . . .
