Author: Mary MacDonald (1789-1872); L. Macbean (1853-1931) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #51 (1987) Meter: 10.8.10.8 Lyrics: 1 Child in the manger, infant of Mary;
outcast and stranger, Lord of all!
child who inherits all our transgressions,
all our demerits on him fall.
2 Once the most holy child of salvation
gently and lowly lived below;
now as our glorious mighty redeemer,
see him victorious over each foe.
3 Prophets foretold him, infant of wonder;
angels behold him on his throne;
worthy our saviour of all their praises;
happy for ever are his own. Topics: God, Saviour Promised and Incarnate; Christmas 1 The Incarnation Languages: English Tune Title: BUNESSAN
