The Babe in the manger
Is Jesus my King,
Now reigning in heaven-
I joyfully sing.
He lived as a human
Like you and like me;
He suffered our manners,
And died on a tree.
But why did He do it?
‘Twas love in His heart;
He saw my condition,
So He took my part.
He died for the sinner-
For you and for me;
He gave His life gladly
To set captives free.
A wonderful Savior
To rescue my soul-
In glad adoration
I give Him control.
My blessed Redeemer,
I love You today;
I’ll praise You forever
In heaven someday.
