Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Gary Prim



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!
