Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: Mor1995 #292 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander 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 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. 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 has 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. There his children gather round, bright like stars, with glory crowned. Topics: Christmas; Christian year--Christmas; Christ's Example Scripture: Isaiah 7:14 Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY
