My Heart, So Like The Manger Lowly

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8533 First Line: O wondrous grace! for guilty men Lyrics: 1 O wondrous grace! for guilty men Was Jesus born in Bethlehem; He laid aside His majesty, And came to earth a man to be. Refrain: My heart, so like the manger lowly, Is all unworthy, Lord, for Thee; Yet, as Thy home, by grace made holy, My heart forevermore shall be. 2 Men knew not in such humble form, Their Lord to save in love had come; Almost unheeded was the birth Of our Redeemer on the earth. [Refrain] 3 Tho’ He was rich, freely He gave Up all, that He the lost might save; Love, from the manger to the cross, Made Him in gladness suffer loss. [Refrain] 4 I love the Lord for stooping so, I’m glad that He did ever go Thro’ human life in human form, And even shared with man His tomb. [Refrain] 5 Like to the Lord, oh, may I be! Like Him in His humility; With love like His, to live alone, To serve and bless the needy one. [Refrain] 6 O let the song of praise ascend To Jesus, who so low did bend; Tell out the love that moved His heart, That led Him e’en with life to part. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O wondrous grace! for guilty men]

Author of "My Heart, So Like The Manger Lowly" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
