[Sons of men, behold your King!]

Sons of men, behold your King!
Lowliest of the lowly He;
Yet the highest of the high,
Helpless in that manger see.
He has come to bear our sins;
He has come to break our chains;
He has come with healing balm
For earth's thousand thousand pains.
Silent there He helpless lies,
Yet to speak the word of power
In the resurrection day,
In the awful judgment hour.
