Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander, 1818-1895 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.7 Appears in 420 hymnals Topics: Mary, Mother of God 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 and meek and lowly Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 And, through all his wondrous childhood, He would honor and obey, Love and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms he lay. Christian children all should be Kind, obedient, good as he. 4 For he 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 feels for all our sadness, And he shares in all our gladness. 5 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. Scripture: Luke 2:7 Used With Tune: IRBY

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light: The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King, And peace to all on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his heav'n. No ear may hear his coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him, still The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in; Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel! Scripture: Job 38:7 Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS
