The Lowly Child

Precious is the sto­ry

How the King of glo­ry

Came to earth a low­ly child;

Came a lit­tle strang­er

Sleeping in a man­ger

Simple

pure

and un­de­filed.

Christ our Sav­ior

bless­èd Sav­ior

Came to earth a low­ly child.

Shepherds watch were keep­ing

While their flocks were sleep­ing

In Ju­dea far away

When an an­gel chor­us

Sang a song so glo­ri­ous

That it ech­oes still to­day;

Sang of Je­sus

bless­èd Je­sus

Sang of Christ

the low­ly Child.

With a glo­ry beam­ing

And a ra­di­ance stream­ing

Shone a lit­tle strang­er star;

And the wise men dar­ing

Gold and trea­sures bear­ing

Journeyed in its light afar;

Came to Je­sus

bless­èd Je­sus

Came to Christ

the low­ly Child.
