Life Of Christ
Author: Jessie H. Baker Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: From a palace to a manger Refrain First Line: My Lord was crucified for me Lyrics: 1 From a palace to a manger,
Once the Savior came;
Poor, despised, and called a stranger;
This, my Savior’s fame.
Down in pathways dark and dreary,
Still my Savior goes,
Cheering hearts grown faint and weary,
Bearing other’s woes.
Refrain:
My Lord was crucified for me,
Upon the cross He died for me,
And I will love Thee, my Savior;
For Thou hast first loved me.
2 On the cross, His arms extended,
There my Savior dies;
In a grave—His life-work ended,
There my Savior lies;
From the tomb, death’s fetters rending,
See my Savior rise,
Back to Heav’n, to home ascending,
Lo! He mounts the skies. [Refrain]
3 Wide are flung the gates of brightness,
List the heav’nly strains!
On a throne of dazzling whiteness,
Now my Savior reigns;
And to see Him in His beauty
On the hills of God,
I must tread the path of duty,
That my Savior trod. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [From a palace to a manger] Text Sources: The Finest of the Wheat by George D. Elderkin (Chicago: Robert R. McCabe, 1890)

John M. Whyte
1850 - 1927 Person Name: J. M. Whyte Composer of "[From a palace to a manger]" in The Finest of the Wheat John M. (Marchant) Whyte. Evangelist, hymn writer, singer, b Paris, Canada West (Ontario), 8 Jun 1850, d Toronto 17 Mar 1927. He studied at the University of Toronto and devoted himself to evangelistic and temperance work. Typical of several hundred songs for which he wrote the words or the music, or both, are 'Canada Shall Yet Be Free,' 'Toronto the Good,' and 'Song of Trust.' Many songs appeared in separate editions published by Toronto News Co or Briggs. With his brother David Albert Whyte he edited Sing Out the Glad News (Briggs 1885) and Songs of Calvary (Briggs 1889). The Great Redemption (Briggs 1894), Nuggets of Gold (Briggs 1898) and Battle Songs of the Cross (1901) contain many of his own melodies. Eight of his hymns are reprinted in CMH vol 5. The editor of the reprint, John Beckwith, has concluded that 'Come Away to Jesus Now' and 'Jesus Is Calling You Now' may have enjoyed a measure of popularity.
