Lyrics

Who is He in yon­der stall
At whose feet the shep­herds fall?
Who is He in deep dis­tress,
Fasting in the wil­der­ness?

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 the peo­ple bless
For His words of gen­tle­ness?
Who is He to whom they bring
All the sick and sor­row­ing?

Refrain

Who is He that stands and weeps
At the grave where La­za­rus sleeps?
Who is He the ga­ther­ing throng
Greet with loud tri­um­phant song?

Refrain

Lo! at mid­night, who is He
Prays in dark Geth­se­ma­ne?
Who is He on yon­der tree
Dies in grief and ago­ny?

Refrain

Who is He that from the grave
Comes to heal and help and save?
Who is He that from His throne
Rules through all the world alone?
