Here’s a wonderful old Christmas hymn. Honestly I haven’t heard this sung for years! I’m always curious to know why some hymns ‘survive’ and others last only a few years. I wonder how many current Christmas ‘songs’ we will be singing in a century from you? Well unless we have unusual genes WE won’t be the one’s singing, but if the Lord has not come back, what music will Christ-followers be lifting up in praise?
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! O wondrous story! ’Tis the Lord! the King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall, Crown Him! crown Him, Lord of all!
Who is He the people bless For His words of gentleness? Who is He to Whom they bring All the sick and sorrowing?
Who is He that stands and weeps At the grave where Lazarus sleeps?
Who is He the gathering throng Greet with loud triumphant song?
Lo! at midnight, who is He Prays in dark Gethsemane?
Who is He on yonder tree Dies in grief and agony?
Who is He that from the grave Comes to heal and help and save?
Who is He that from His throne Rules through all the world alone?
