O Lowly, Sacred Stable

Author: Brian C. Roberts Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O lowly, sacred stable, Where light divine is shed; O humble little manger, Where rests that infant head. Teach us thy old, old story, How Jesus Christ was born, How angels sang their carols Upon that Christmas morn. 2 O little star, outshining All worlds in splendor bright, O little star, revealing Where rests incarnate light. Now lead me to my Child King Encradled here on earth, The Maker, Monarch, Savior, The King of heavenly birth. 3 O blessèd Babe of Mary, We worship Thee our king. O Deity incarnate, To Thee our praise we sing. Accept our heart’s devotion, Receive our homage due, Bestow on us Thy blessing, Create our hearts anew. Used With Tune: BROOKLINE
