Who Is This Babe So Lowly?

Who is this babe so low­ly

Here laid in a man­ger bed

Room in the inn de­nied Him

But cra­dled in cat­tle shed?

This is the Lord Al­migh­ty

Messiah Sav­ior King

Whose prais­es holy an­gels

With cease­less wor­ship sing!

Who is this Babe so ten­der

To toil and suf­fer­ing born

Whom men will treat un­kind­ly

With cru­el­ty and scorn?

This is the Lord Al­migh­ty

Whom hosts in Heav’n ad­ore

Who with His word could scat­ter

His foes for­ev­er­more!

Who is this Babe so gen­tle

This Babe

so pure and sweet

Who wears a smile so lov­ing

His vis­it­ors to greet?

This is our on­ly Sav­ior

Who deigns on earth to come

That He may op­en for us

The great eter­nal home.
