Who is He?

This is one of my favorite songs, for Christmas or any time.

Who is He in Yonder Stall?

1."Who is He in yonder stall,
At whose feet the shepherds fall?

Refrain: '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!

2. Who is He in deep distress
Fasting in the wilderness?

3. Who is He the people bless
For His words of gentleness?

4. Who is He to whom they bring
All the sick and sorrowing?

'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!

5. Who is He that stands and weeps
At the grave where Lazarus sleeps?

6. Who is He the gathering throng
Greet with loud triumphant song?

7. Lo! at midnight, who is He
Prays in dark Gethsemane?

8. Who is He on yonder tree
Dies in grief and agony?

'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!

9. Who is He who from the grave
Comes to succour, help, and save?

10. Who is He who from His throne
Rules through all the worlds alone?

'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!"


"He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as 
many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become
children of God, to those who believe in His name."
John 1:11,12

"All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one
who comes to Me I will by no means cast out."
John 6:37

"...neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand."
John 10:28

Anyone can come to Jesus and be saved! He's
waiting for you to realize your need for Him and 
ask Him. He won't force you, He waits for you
to invite Him into the door of your heart. You
don't have to say any magic words. It's 
asking Him to come in and make you one of
His. II Corinthians 5:17 says," If any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature; old things are 
passed away, behold, all things have become
new." Just as a butterfly becomes a wondrous
new beauty when it leaves the cocoon, so can someone's
heart be transformed when Jesus enters.

  2. This time of year has the loveliest music, doesn't it?

    We don't put up a tree but I do enjoy having my grown children in the house, all together for a few days enjoying the warmth of one another's company (and maybe eating a few spritz cookies.)

    Merry Christmas to you and your family! (Former St. Louis gal myself and some posts back you mentioned Mercy Hospital- my mother was an RN there back when it was known as St. John's Mercy).
