Author: Edith S. Tillotson Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: In the lowly manger, poor and bare Refrain First Line: Herald angels sing His greeting Lyrics: 1 In the lowly manger, poor and bare, Lies a little child, Sent from heav’nly realms of glory fair, Pure and undefiled. Sent to live with men in lowly guise, All our ills to bear, That at length with Him, above the skies, We His crown may wear. Refrain: Herald angels sing His greeting, Mortal lips the strain repeating, While His star, with radiant splendor, Like a beacon seems to shine. Earth and Heav’n, today rejoicing, Now unite their praises voicing, In a song of glad thanksgiving For the gift divine. 2 All our sin and sorrow He will know, All our pain and grief, In our very footsteps He will go, Bringing glad relief, Showing us the straight and narrow way, That will lead above, Bringing us to that bright endless day, In His world of love. [Refrain] 3 Blessed little Child in manger low, Holy, uncrowned King, Homage to Thy name we here bestow, While Thy praises ring, Heaven’s priceless gift of love Thou art, Whom the saints adore, Thou alone shalt rule in every heart, Now and evermore. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [In the lowly manger, poor and bare] Text Sources: The Nativity: A Christmas Service by Isaac Meredith (New York: Tullar-Meredith, 1913)
