Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 417 hymnals Topics: The Christian Year C; Advent 3 Year C; Christmas 1 Year C 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, with God is over all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall. There among the poor and lowly lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 For he is our lifelong pattern; daily, when on earth he grew; he was tempted, scorned, rejected, tears and smiles like us he knew. Thus 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 who seemed so helpless is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone.
