*Leader:
1 See the little Baby
lying in a manger
on Christmas morning.
2 See him at the temple
talking to the elders;
how they marveled at his wisdom,
3 See him at the seaside
preaching and healing
the blind and feeble.
4 See him in the garden
praying to his Father
in deepest sorrow.
5 Then they crucified him,
Jesus, our Savior,
and he rose on Easter.
*One person sings the stanzas while everyone else continues to sing
"Amen."
