1. Gentle Jesus, in the manger Came to teach us all to care For each other, for the stranger, Came to show us love and prayer.
2. Gentle Jesus, holy Baby, Born in little Bethlehem. Shepherds brought their gifts to praise him, Magi left him precious gems.
3. Gentle Jesus, in the starlight, Heav’nly angels sang his birth. Gentle Jesus in the stable, Lord of heav’n and Lord of earth.
