Child in the Manger

Child in the manger Infant of Mary Came as a stranger Born in a stall Sweet little Jesus Sent down from heaven God's gift of new life Offered to all Once the most Holy Child of salvation Gently and lowly Lay here below Blessed peacemaker Mighty redeemer See Him victorius Over each foe Prophets foretold Him Infant of wonder Angels behold Him There on His throne Worthy the Savior Of all our praises Happy and ever Blessed are His own
