| Text: | I know not how that Bethlehem's Babe |
| Author: | Rev. Harry Webb Farrington |
| Tune: | EXETER |
| Composer: | Henry Lowell Mason |
1 I know not how that Bethlehem's Babe
Could in the Godhead be;
I only know the Manger Child
Has brought God's life to me.
2 I know not how that Calvary's cross
A world from sin could free;
I only know its matchless love
Has brought God's love to me.
3 I know not how that Joseph's tomb
Could solve death's mystery;
I only know a living Christ,
Our immortality.
Amen.
