Annotation	“Gentle Mary Laid Her Child” is a very simple song that conveys a very deep message. It reminds us of the unique position Jesus holds as fully human (“…Mary laid her child…”) and fully divine (“Son of God…”). It confirms that Jesus was without sin (“He is still the undefiled…”), calling to mind Biblical passages such as 1 Peter 2:22, Hebrews 4:15, and 1 John 3:5. It proclaims the gospel message that He is the Savior who has come to save all who will accept His offer of salvation by grace (“Ask the saved of all the race who have found His favor”). Simple words, singable tune, profound meaning—all combine to help us “Praise His name in all the earth, Hail the King of glory!”
