Who Is He in Yonder Stall

Lyrics to ‘Who Is He in Yonder Stall’ (1866) written by Benjamin Russell Hanby

Who is He in yonder stall,
at whose feet the shepherds fall? 

Refrain: 
‘Tis the Lord, O wondrous story! 
‘Tis the Lord, the King of glory; 
at his feet, we humbly fall, 
crown him, crown him Lord of all!

Who is He, in yonder cot 
bending to his toilsome lot? 
Refrain: 
‘Tis the Lord, O wondrous story! 
‘Tis the Lord, the King of glory; 
at his feet, we humbly fall, 
crown him, crown him Lord of all!

Who is He, in deep distress,
fasting in the wilderness? 
Refrain: 
‘Tis the Lord, O wondrous story! 
‘Tis the Lord, the King of glory; 
at his feet, we humbly fall, 
crown him, crown him Lord of all!

Who is He that stands and weeps 
at the grave where Lazarus sleeps? 
Refrain: 
‘Tis the Lord, O wondrous story! 
‘Tis the Lord, the King of glory; 
at his feet, we humbly fall, 
crown him, crown him Lord of all!

Lo, at midnight who is He
praying in Gethsemane? 
Refrain: 
‘Tis the Lord, O wondrous story! 
‘Tis the Lord, the King of glory; 
at his feet, we humbly fall, 
crown him, crown him Lord of all!

Who is He in Calvary’s throes 
asking blessings on his foes? 
Refrain: 
‘Tis the Lord, O wondrous story! 
‘Tis the Lord, the King of glory; 
at his feet, we humbly fall, 
crown him, crown him Lord of all!

Who is He that from the grave 
comes to heal and help and save? 
Refrain: 
‘Tis the Lord, O wondrous story! 
‘Tis the Lord, the King of glory; 
at his feet, we humbly fall, 
crown him, crown him Lord of all!

Who is He that from his throne,
rules the world of light alone? 
Refrain: 
‘Tis the Lord, O wondrous story! 
‘Tis the Lord, the King of glory; 
at his feet, we humbly fall, 
crown him, crown him Lord of all!
