Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 410 hymnals Topics: Songs for Children 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 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. 4 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.

I Think, When I Read That Sweet Story of Old

Author: Mrs. Jemima Luke Meter: Irregular Appears in 860 hymnals Topics: Songs For Children Jesus' Life Lyrics: 1. I think, when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How He called little children as lambs to His fold, I should like to have been with them then. I wish that His hand had been placed on my head, That His arm had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, "Let the little ones come unto Me." 2. Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in His love; And if only I earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above, In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare, For all who are washed and forgiv'n; So many dear children are gathering there, "For of such is the kingdom of heaven."
