In Bethlehem a Babe I see,
The Christ Child, King of Kings is He;
A stable manger for His Throne,
A King to earthly pomp unknown.

On dusty roads Christ comes to me,
As crowds surround in Galilee;
With word and touch He makes men whole,
Gives life to body and to soul.

'Tis Jesus at Gethsemane
In prayer alone, in misery,
Disciples sleeping, heedless they,
Betrayed before the dawn of day.

'Tis Jesus Christ on Calvary
Against the sky in agony,
A scoffing mob, and Crosses Three,
Deserted and alone is He.

'Tis Jesus on His Throne I see,
In glory and in majesty;
The world doth stand in mute array
Before that Throne on Judgment Day.
