Author: Tom Colvin Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #55 (1990) Meter: Irregular First Line: What shall we call Him Refrain First Line: That boychild of Mary was born in a stable Lyrics: Refrain:
That boy-child of Mary was born in a stable,
A manger His cradle in Bethlehem.
1 What shall we call Him, child of the manger?
What name is given in Bethlehem?
2 His name is Jesu, God ever with us,
God given for us, in Bethlehem.
3 How can He save us, how can He help us,
Born here among us, in Bethlehem?
4 Gift of the Father, to human mother,
Makes Him our brother of Bethlehem.
5 One with the Father, He is our Savior,
Heaven-sent Helper of Bethlehem.
6 Gladly we praise Him, love and adore Him,
Give ourselves to Him, of Bethlehem.
