Hymn Context Compare
I saw the great crowds as they thronged the way
I shall have a roy­al wel­come,
start
No soft silk­en gar­ments His fair form dressed;
start
He rides an ass, and draws this way.
Came to earth a low­ly child;
Came to earth a low­ly child;
Gentle Mary laid her child low­ly in a man­ger;
But a rude and low­ly man­ger
That hath led us to re­prove.
Standin’ in the need of pray­er.
But a rude and low­ly man­ger
Standin’ in the need of pray­er.
We con­quer by pray­er.
And at His feet with hom­age meet
It is but for a sea­son
Who shared a home or gave them some bread?
The night is dark, the storm is wild,
Taking such a hu­mble birth,

strang­er

I saw how the man who was blind from birth,
I shall be no strang­er there;
Jesus, the won­der­ful Sav­ior, was born.
The pre­cious Lord Je­sus, the won­der­ful Child.
Who des­cend­ed from ab­ove;
Stood on the coast of Gen­ne­sa­ret’s sea;
Sleeping in a man­ger,
Sleeping in a man­ger,
Such a babe in such a place, can He be the Sav­ior?
Who left His bright throne
Thou he come in hum­ble guise;
But it’s me, O Lord,
Who left His bright throne
But it’s me, O Lord,
We are strang­ers to bliss,
And we with them in Beth­le­hem
And strang­ers must not look for
Who saw their fear and gave hope in­stead?
O ven­ture in, thou strang­er child.
Come so low­ly, yet so ho­ly,
