Dear Little Stranger

Chas. H. Gabriel (1900) • English

Primary Scripture: Luke 2:7

Verse 1

Low in a manger - dear little Stranger, Jesus the wonderful Savior, was born; There was none to receive Him, none to believe Him, None but the angels were watching that morn.

Chorus

Dear little Stranger, slept in a manger, No downy pillow under His head; But with the poor He slumbered secure, The dear little Babe in His bed.

Verse 2

Angels descending, over Him bending Chanted a tender and silent refrain; Then a wonderful story told of His glory, Unto the shepherds on Bethlehem's plain.

Chorus

Dear little Stranger, slept in a manger, No downy pillow under His head; But with the poor He slumbered secure, The dear little Babe in His bed.

Verse 3

Dear little Stranger, born in a manger, Maker and Monarch, and Savior of all; I will love Thee forever! grieve Thee? no, never! Thou didst for me make Thy bed in a stall.

Chorus

Dear little Stranger, slept in a manger, No downy pillow under His head; But with the poor He slumbered secure, The dear little Babe in His bed.
