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.
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.
’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.
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.

In glad adoration
I give Him control.
My blessed Redeemer,
I love You today;
I’ll praise You forever
In heaven someday.
I love You today;
I’ll praise You forever
In heaven someday.

Haven't read this one before. I wonder if it could be set to music?
