To show God's love aright she bore for us a Saviour when half-spent was the night. French: 1 D'un arbre séculaire, du vieux tronc d'Isaï, durant l'hiver austère, un frais rameau jaillit; et, sur le sol durci, dans la nuit calme et claire, une rose a fleuri. 2 Dieu, par leur voix fervente, de nombreux serviteurs, à son peuple en attente, promettait un Sauveur. Il vient, suprême honneur, chez une humble servante, toute à son pur bonheur. Used With Tune: ES IST EIN' ROS Text Sources: German, 15th century

Author: Joseph Simpson Cook Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Biblical Characters Mary 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 Savior? Ask the saved of all the race who have found his favor. 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! Used With Tune: TEMPUS ADEST FLORIDUM

Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 430 hymnals Topics: Biblical Names & Places Mary; Biblical Names & Places Mary Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ, her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all; and his shelter was a stable and his cradle was a stall: with the poor and meek and lowly lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 For he is our childhood's pattern; day by day like us he grew; he was little, weak, and helpless; tears and smiles like us he knew: and he feels for all our sadness, and he shares in all our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love, for that child, so dear and gentle, is our Lord in heaven above: and he leads his children on to the place where he has gone. 5 Not in that poor lowly stable with the oxen standing by we shall see him, but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high: there his children gather round bright like stars, with glory crowned.
