Gentle Mary Laid Her Child

Author: Joseph Simpson Cook Hymnal: Voices United #46 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Biblical Narrative Lyrics: 1 Gentle Mary laid her child lowly in a manger; there he lay, the undefiled, to the world a stranger. Such a Babe in such a place, can he be the Saviour? Ask the saved of all the race who have found his favour. 2 Angels sang about his birth, wise Men sought and found him; heaven’s star shone brightly forth, glory all around him. Shepherds saw the wondrous sight, heard the angels singing; all the plains were lit that night, all the hills were ringing. 3 Gentle Mary laid her child lowly in a manger; he is still the undefiled, but no more a stranger. Son of God of humble birth, beautiful the story; praise his name in all the earth; hail the King of glory! Languages: English Tune Title: GENTLE MARY

[Refrain:] Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, born is the King of Israel. 2 They looked up and saw a star, shining in the east beyond them far; and to the earth it gave great light, and so it continued both day and night. [Refrain] 3 And by the light of that same star three wise men came from country far; to seek for a king was their intent, and to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain] 4 This star drew nigh to the northwest, o'er Bethlehem it took its rest, and there it did both stop and stay right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain] 5 Then entered in those wise men three full reverently upon their knee, and offered there in his presence, their gold and myrrh and frankincense. [Refrain] 6 Then let us all with one accord sing praises to our heavenly Lord, that hath made heaven and earth of nought, and with his blood our life hath bought.
