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 poor, the scorned, the lowly
lived on earth our Savior holy.

3 Jesus is our childhood's pattern;
day by day, like us He grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
tears and smiles like us He knew;
and He feeleth for our sadness,
and He shareth in our gladness.

4 And our eyes at last shall see Him,
through His own redeeming love;
for that child so dear and gentle
is our Lord in heav'n above;
and He leads His children on
to the place where He is gone.
