362. 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;
crown Him, crown Him, Lord of all!

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

3 Who is He the gathering throng
greet with loud triumphant song? [Refrain]

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

5 Who is He on yonder tree,
dies in grief and agony? [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]
