Once in Royal David's City

Appears in 407 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her Baby, In a manger for His bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall; With the lowly, poor, and mean Lived on earth our Saviour then. 3 And, thru all His wondrous childhood, He would honour and obey, Love, and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms He lay; Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as He. 4 Oh, our eyes at last shall see Him, Thru His own redeeming love, For that Child so dear and gentle Is our God in heav'n above; And He leads His children on To the place where He is gone. 5 Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see Him; but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high; When like stars His children crowned All in white shall wait around.
