Representative Text

1 Low in a manger - dear little Stranger,
Jesus the wonderful Savior, was born;
There was none to receive Him, none to believe Him,
None but the angels were watching that morn.

Chorus:
Dear little Stranger, slept in a manger,
No downy pillow under His head;
But with the poor He slumbered secure,
The dear little Babe in His bed.

2 Angels descending, over Him bending
Chanted a tender and silent refrain;
Then a wonderful story told of His glory,
Unto the shepherds on Bethlehem's plain. [Chorus]

3 Dear little Stranger, born in a manger,
Maker and Monarch, and Savior of all;
I will love Thee forever! grieve Thee? no, never!
Thou didst for me make Thy bed in a stall. [Chorus]
