The Side of the Manger

See over the side of the manger.
Become like a little child.
Receive in your soul the dear Savior;
To do it, be meek and be mild.

Chorus
O Child of God’s love, shine on, shine on!
The world is a dark, dark place.
You came to save, the light You gave
By you are truth and grace!

See over the side of the manger.
The gifts of the world will die.
The Christ as a Babe will enthrall you!
God’s gift is eternal – that’s why.

See over the side of the manger.
‘Tis Jesus lies here so fair
For you He was born, and He died once –
Do tell Him right now that you care.

See over the side of the manger.
And pray for the sinner right
To hear the unspeakable Gift speak,
And quietly bask in the light.
