Once in royal David’s city

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-95 Hymnal: Together in Song #312 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 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 poor, despised and lowly lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And through all his wondrous childhood, day by day like us he grew; he was little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles like us he knew; and he feels for all our sadness, and he shares in all 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 heaven 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 his children gather round bright like stars, with glory crowned.
