Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #70 (1987) Meter: 8.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Within a crib my saviour lay,
a wooden manger filled with hay,
come down for love on Christmas Day:
all glory be to Jesus!
2 Upon a cross my saviour died,
to ransom sinners crucified,
his loving arms still open wide:
all glory be to Jesus!
3 A victor's crown my saviour won,
his work of love and mercy done,
the Father's high-ascended Son:
all glory be to Jesus! Topics: God, Saviour Promised and Incarnate; Christmas 1 The Incarnation Languages: English Tune Title: LORD OF LOVE
