Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: Timeless Truths #214 Meter: 10.10.12.10.10.9.9.8 First Line: Low in a manger, dear little Stranger Refrain First Line: Dear little Stranger, slept in a manger Lyrics: 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.
Refrain:
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. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain] Topics: Jesus/Savior Scripture: Luke 2:7 Tune Title: [Low in a manger, dear little Stranger]
