560. Who is He in yonder stall

1 Who is He in yonder stall,
At Whose feet the shepherds fall?

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 in yonder cot,
Bending to His toilsome lot? [Refrain]

3 Who is He in deep distress
Fasting in the wilderness? [Refrain]

4 Who is He that stands and weeps
At the grave where Lazarus sleeps? [Refrain]

5 Lo, at midnight, Who is He
Praying in Gethsemane? [Refrain]

6 Who is He, in Calvary's throes,
Asks for blessings on His foes? [Refrain]

7 Who is He that from the grave
Comes to heal and help and save? [Refrain]

8 Who is He that from His throne
Rules the world of light alone? [Refrain]
