Lyrics

Verse 1
Who is He in yon­der stall
At whose feet the shep­herds fall? (Luke 2:7-20)
Who is He in deep dis­tress,
Fasting in the wil­der­ness? (Matt. 4:1-11, Mark 1:12-13, Luke 4:1-13)

Chorus
’Tis the Lord! O won­drous sto­ry!
’Tis the Lord! the King of glo­ry! (Ps. 24:7-10, I Cor. 2:8)
At His feet we hum­bly fall, (Isa. 45:23, Rom. 14:11, Phil. 2:9-11, Rev. 1:17, Rev. 5:14)
Crown Him! crown Him, Lord of all! (Acts 10:36)

Verse 2
Who is He the peo­ple bless
For His words of gen­tle­ness? (Luke 4:22)
Who is He to whom they bring
All the sick and sor­row­ing? (Matt. 4:24, Matt. 8:16-17, Mark 1:32-34, Luke 4:40)

Verse 3
Who is He that stands and weeps
At the grave where La­za­rus sleeps? (John 11:33-35)
Who is He the ga­ther­ing throng
Greet with loud tri­umph­ant song? (Matt. 21:1-11, Mark 11:1-11, Luke 19:28-40, John 12:12-19)

Verse 4
Lo! at mid­night, who is He
Prays in dark Geth­se­ma­ne? (Matt. 26:36-46, Mark 14:32-42, Luke 22:39-46)
Who is He on yon­der tree
Dies in grief and ago­ny? (Matthew 27:35-50, Mark 15:24-37, Luke 23:33-46, John 19:18-30, Isa. 53:3-5, I Pet. 2:24)

Verse 5
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? (Dan. 7:14, Eph. 1:20-22, Rev. 11:15)
