Gentle Mary Laid Her Child - Religious Music

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
Gentle Mary laid her Child
Lowly in a manger; 
There He lay, the undefiled, 
To the world a Stranger.
Such a Babe in such a place, 
Can he be the saviour?
Ask the saved of all the race
Who have found His favour.

Angels sang about His birth, 
Wise men sought and found Him; 
Heaven's star shone brightly forth
Glory all around Him.
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight, 
Heard the angels singing; 
All the plains were lit that night, 
All the hills were ringing.

Gentle Mary laid her Child
Lowly in a manger; 
He is still the undefiled, 
But no more a Stranger.
Son of God of humble birth, 
Beautiful the story; 
Praise His Name in all the earth, 
Hail! the King of Glory!
