Who Is This, So Weak and Helpless lyrics

Verse 1

Who is this so weak and helpless

Child of lowly Hebrew maid

Rudely in a stable sheltered

Coldly in a manger laid

'Tis the Lord of all creation

Who this wondrous path has trod

He is God from everlasting

And to everlasting God

Verse 2

Who is this a Man of Sorrows

Walking sadly life's hard way

Homeless weary sighing weeping

Over sin and Satan's sway

'Tis our God our glorious Savior

Who above the starry sky

Is for us a place preparing

Where no tear can dim the eye

Verse 3

Who is this behold Him shedding

Drops of blood upon the ground

Who is this despised rejected

Mocked insulted beaten bound

'Tis our God who gifts and graces

On His church is pouring down

Who shall smite in holy vengeance

All His foes beneath His throne

Verse 4

Who is this that hangs there dying

While the rude world scoffs and scorns

Numbered with the malefactors

Torn with nails and crowned with thorns

'Tis our God who lives forever

'Mid the shining ones on high

In the glorious golden city

Reigning everlastingly
