(With the Statler Brothers and the Carter Family)
Jesus came
There He lay
In a manger of hay
The angels sang
The shepherds came
They knew not what
The future held
They only knew
They were compelled
From up above
A baby boy
The king of love
He was a child
He was the son
He was a man
Among men
He was a prince
He was divine
He was the king
Of love
Jesus grew
He was a child
He traveled far
In distant lands
His earthly parents
By the hand
They missed him now
He did not hide
He told them then
I must confide
I was at
My Father's side
He was a child
He was the son
He was a man
Among men
He was a prince
He was divine
He was the king
Of love
Jesus died
The world was dark
Not a sound
Was there to hark
The breath was gone
He hung his head
But wait
Let us rejoice
For He has risen from the dead
He was a child
He was the son
He was a man
Among men
He was a prince
He was divine
He was the king
Of love
