Gentle Mary Laid Her Child

Christmas Carol

Gentle Mary laid her Child lowly in a manger;
There He lay, the Undefiled, to the world a stranger.
Such a Babe in such a place, can He be the Saviour?
Ask the saved of all the race who have found His favor.

Angels sang about His birth, Wise Men sought and found Him;
Heaven's star shone brightly forth Glory all around Him.
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight, heard the angels singing;
All the plains were lit that night, all the hills were ringing.

Gentle Mary laid her Child lowly in a manger;
He is still the Undefiled, but no more a stranger.
Son of God of humble birth, beautiful the story;
Praise His name in all the earth, Hail! the King of Glory!
