16. Who Is He?

1 Who is He born in the stall,
At whose feet the shepherds fall?

Chorus:
'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.

2 "Who is He in yonder cot,
Bending to His toil-some lot? [Chorus]

3 Who is He who stands and weeps,
At the grave where Laz'rus sleeps? [Chorus]

4 "Who is He in deep distress,
Fasting in the wilderness? [Chorus]

5 "Lo! at midnight who is He,
Prays in dark Gethsemane? [Chorus]

6 "Who is He in Calv'ry's throes,
Asks for blessings on His foes? [Chorus]

7 "Who is He that from the grave
Comes to heal, and help and save? [Chorus]

8 "Who is He that on yon Throne,
Rules the world of light alone? [Chorus]
