212. Within a Crib My Savior Lay
1 Within a crib my Savior lay,
a wooden manger filled with hay,
come down for love on Christmas Day:
all glory be to Jesus!
2 Upon a cross my Savior died,
to ransom sinners, crucified,
his loving arms still open wide:
all glory be to Jesus!
3 A victor's crown my Savior won,
his work of love and mercy done,
the Father's high-ascended Son:
all glory be to Jesus!
