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.
