The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration ‎#168

168. Who Is He in Yonder Stall?

1 Who is He in yonder stall,
At whose feet the shepherds fall?
Who is He in deep distress,
Fasting in the wilderness?

Refrain:
'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story!
'Tis the Lord! the King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall,
Crown Him! crown Him, Lord of all!

2 Who is He the people bless
For His words of gentleness?
Who is He to whom they bring
All the sick and sorrowing? [Refrain]

3 Who is He that stands and weeps
At the grave where Lazarus sleeps?
Who is He the gath'ring throng
Greet with loud triumphant song? [Refrain]

4 Lo! at midnight, who is He
Prays in dark Gethsemane?
Who is He on yonder tree,
Dies in grief and agony? [Refrain]

5 Who is he that from the grave
Comes to heal and help and save?
Who is he that from His throne
Rules through all the world alone? [Refrain]
