The Babe in Bethlem's Manger

Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #378 First Line: The Babe in Bethlem's manger laid Refrain First Line: Nowell, Nowell&#8212 Lyrics: 1. The Babe in Bethlem’s manger laid, In humble form so low, By wond’ring angels is surveyed, Thro’ all His scenes of woe. Refrain Nowell, Nowell— O sing a Savior’s birth: All hail His coming down to earth, Who raises us to Heav’n. 2. A Savior! sinners all around Sing, shout the wondrous word; Let every bosom hail the sound, A Savior! Christ the Lord. [Refrain] 3. For not to sit on David’s throne With worldly pomp and joy, He came for sinners to atone, And Satan to destroy. [Refrain] 4. To preach the word of life divine, To give the living bread, To heal the sick with hand benign, And raise to life the dead. [Refrain] 5. He preached, He suffered, bled and died, Uplift ’twixt earth and skies; In sinners’ stead was crucified, For sin a sacrifice. [Refrain] 6. Well may we sing the Savior’s birth, Who need the grace so giv’n, And hail His coming down to earth, Who raises us to Heav’n. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The Babe in Bethlem's manger laid]

Anonymous

Author of "The Babe of Bethlehem" in Christmas in Song In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
