Author: Elizabeth K. Boss Meter: 6.5.6.5 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Just a little baby Lyrics: 1 Just a little baby,
In a manger laid,
Cattle all around Him,
Yet He’s not afraid.
2 God is watching o’er Him,
Angels hover round,
Wise men came and worshiped,
Bowing to the ground.
3 Spreading gifts before Him,
Frankincense and gold,
Things a tiny baby
Surely couldn’t hold.
4 Just the sweetest baby,
Mother ever won,
Yet the Lord of glory,
God’s belovèd Son. Used With Tune: NAPERVILLE Text Sources: Nazarene Messenger, "In a Manger Laid," vol. 12, no. 25, 1907
