The Jewel ‎#63

63. In a Manger Laid So Lowly

1 In a manger laid so lowly,
Came the Prince of Peace to earth;
While a choir of angels holy
Sang to celebrate his birth.

Chorus:
"Glory in the highest,'
Sang the glad angelic strain;
"Glory in the highest,"
"Peace on earth, good will to men,"
"Peace on earth, good will to men."

2 As the wise men from far Persia,
Brought rich gifts to Jewry’s King,
Grateful love, a richer treasure,
Sang to celebrate his birth. [Chorus]

3 Where Christ’s joyful kingdom cometh,
Deserts blossom as the rose;
And God’s gracious rain descendeth,
Where the coral island grows. [Chorus]
