150. Who Is He in Yonder Stall?

1 Who is He in yonder stall,
At whose feet the shepherds fall?
'Tis the Lord, O wondrous story,
'Tis the Lord, the King of glory!

Refrain:
At His feet we humbly fall,
Crown Him, crown Him Lord of all.
At His feet we humbly fall; the Lord of all.
Crown Him, crown Him, Jesus, Jesus,
Crown Him Lord of all.

2 Who is He in deep distress,
Fasting in the wilderness?
'Tis the Lord, O wondrous story,
'Tis the Lord, the King of glory! [Refrain]

3 Who is He, the gathering throng
Greet with loud triumphant song?
'Tis the Lord, O wondrous story,
'Tis the Lord, the King of glory! [Refrain]

4 Lo, at midnight, who is He
Prays in dark Gethsemane?
'Tis the Lord, O wondrous story,
'Tis the Lord, the King of glory! [Refrain]

5 Who is He on yonder tree
Dies in shame and agony?
'Tis the Lord, O wondrous story,
'Tis the Lord, the King of glory! [Refrain]

6 Who is He that from the grave
Comes to heal and help and save?
'Tis the Lord, O wondrous story,
'Tis the Lord, the King of glory! [Refrain]

7 Who is He that from His Throne
Rules through all the world alone?
'Tis the Lord, O wondrous story,
'Tis the Lord, the King of glory! [Refrain]
