Child in the Manger

lyricist: Mary MacDonald (1789–1872)
Composer: Gaelic

Child in the man­ger

in­fant of Ma­ry

Outcast and strang­er

Lord of all

Child who in­her­its all our trans­gress­ions

All our de­mer­its on Him fall.

Once the most ho­ly Child of sal­va­tion

Gently and low­ly lived be­low.

Now as our glo­ri­ous migh­ty Re­deem­er

See Him vic­tor­ious o’er each foe.

Prophets fore­told Him

In­fant of won­der;

Angels be­hold Him on His throne.

Worthy our Sav­ior of all our prais­es;

Happy for­ev­er are His own.
