Gentle Mary Laid Her Child

1. Gen- tle Ma- ry laid her Child low- ly in a man- ger; There He lay, the un- de- filed, to the world a Stran- ger: Such a Babe in such a place, can He be the Sa- vior? Ask the saved of all the race who have found His fa- vor.

2. An- gels sang a- bout His birth; wise men sought and found Him; Hea- ven's star shone bright- ly forth, glo- ry all a- round Him: Shep- herds saw the won- drous sight, heard the an- gels sing- ing; All the plains were lit that night, all the hills were ring- ing.

3. Gen- tle Ma- ry laid her Child low- ly in a man- ger; He is still the un- de- filed, but no more a stran- ger: Son of God, of hum- ble birth, beau- ti- ful the sto- ry; Praise His Name in all the earth, hail the King of glo- ry!
