42. 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! oh 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 gathering 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 succour, help, and save?
Who is He that from His throne
Rules through all the world alone? (Refrain)
