Common Praise ‎#77

77. Who is he, in yonder stall

1 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 – the Lord of all:
crown him, crown him, crown him, crown him,
crown him, Lord of all!

2 Who is he in deep distress,
fasting in the wilderness? [Refrain]

3 Who is he that stands and weeps
at the grave where Lazarus sleeps? [Refrain]

4 Lo! at midnight, who is he
prays in dark Gethsemane? [Refrain]

5 Who is he, in Calvary's throes,
asks for blessings on his foes? [Refrain]

6 Who is he that from the grave
comes to heal and help and save? [Refrain]

7 Who is he that from his throne
rules through all the world alone? [Refrain]
