In Bethlehem's Lowly Manger
===========================
m: Frances Williams, 1957
w: Theodore H. Kenworth

[Verse 1]
In Bethlem's lowly manger,
How sweet a Babe is laid!
To poverty no stranger,
Of straw his bed is made.

[Refrain 1]
Rock him, rock him, Mary, mother,
In his slumber mild;
Rock him, rock him, Mary, mother,
Jesus, blessed Child.

[Verse 2]
The cattle all stand gazing,
The tender infant smiles,
And with a look amazing,
The oxen he beguiles.
The shepherds crowd around him,
And kneeling with their sheep,
Rejoice that they have found him,
How great their joy, how deep!

[Interlude]

[Refrain 2]
Wrap him, wrap him, Mary, mother,
In his swaddling clothes;
Wrap him, wrap him, Mary, mother,
Lovely Christmas rose.

[Verse 3]
The wise men from the mountain,
Bring gold and incense rare,
To Him who is their fountain,
This Child so pure, so fair!
And we who sing this story
Of that first Christmas night,
Will give the Christchild glory,
The King of love and light!

[Refrain 3]
Love him, love him, Mary, mother,
Tiny mite, so new;
Love him, love him, Mary, mother,
We would love Him, too!
Love him, love him, Mary, mother,
We would love Him, too!
