About this Hymn
This question-and-answer hymn takes us through many phases of Jesus' ministry: his humble birth, temptation in the wilderness, healing ministry, mourning of Lazarus, triumphal entry, prayer in the garden, death on the cross, resurrection from the grave, and ascension to the throne. Who is this figure? He is the King of glory, and we worship humbly at his feet.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Who is he in yonder stall, at whose feet the shepherds fall? Who is he in deep distress, fasting in the wilderness?
Chorus
'Tis the Lord! Oh, wondrous story! 'Tis the Lord, the King of glory! At his feet we humbly fall— crown him! Crown him Lord of all!
Verse 2
Who is he the people bless for his words of gentleness? Who is he to whom they bring all the sick and sorrowing?
Verse 3
Who is he that stands and weeps at the grave where Laz'rus sleeps? Who is he the gath'ring throng greet with loud triumphant song?
Verse 4
Lo! at midnight, who is he prays in dark Gethsemane? Who is he on yonder tree dies in grief and agony?
Verse 5
Who is he that, from the grave, comes to heal and help and save? Who is he that, from his throne, rules through all the world alone?
Who is he in yonder stall, at whose feet the shepherds fall? Who is he in deep distress, fasting in the wilderness?
Chorus
'Tis the Lord! Oh, wondrous story! 'Tis the Lord, the King of glory! At his feet we humbly fall— crown him! Crown him Lord of all!
