What the hymn is

  • “Who Is He in Yonder Stall?” is a Christian Christmas/Easter hymn written by Benjamin Russell Hanby around 1866.
  • It follows the life of Jesus in short question‑and‑answer stanzas, from his birth in the manger to his death, resurrection, and reign.

Key themes and structure

  • Each stanza asks “Who is He…?” in a different scene:
    • In the stall at Bethlehem
    • In the wilderness fasting
    • Healing the sick and sorrowing
    • Weeping at Lazarus’ grave
    • Praying in Gethsemane
    • Dying on the cross
    • Rising from the grave and ruling from the throne
  • A repeated refrain answers that He is the Lord, the King of glory, and calls worshipers to fall at His feet and “crown Him…Lord of all.”
