The Invitation

Author: Lydia O. Baxter Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10869 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 D First Line: Jesus once lay in the manger Lyrics: Teachers: Jesus once lay in the manger, Little ones, for you and me; Holy angels stood in wonder, Thus the Lord of life to see. From the starry heights of Heaven Music floated all around; And the theme to man was given, Peace on earth! O joyful sound! Children: Joyful sound! our happy voices Gladly join the sweet refrain, Jesus came, and earth rejoices In the blessèd Savior’s name. Languages: English Tune Title: BELLEFONTAINE NEIGHBORS
