CHILD in the manger ~ Infant of MARY
Outcast and stranger ~ LORD of us all
CHILD who inherits ~ All our transgressions
All our demerits ~ Did on HIM fall
Once the most holy ~ Child of Salvation
Gentle and lowly ~ Lived here below
Now as our glorious ~ Mighty Redeemer
See Him victorious ~ over each foe !
Prophets foretold Him ~ Infant of wonder
Angels behold Him ~ High on His throne
Worthy our Saviour ~ of all their praises
Happy for ever ~ JESUS IS LORD ~ AMEN
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to MARY MACDONALD

This poem examines the paradox between who JESUS is
The Eternal Son of God and the way in which he was perceived
and treated by man during his 33 years of Earthly Ministry.
