Once In Royal |
|
David's City |
|
Stood a lowly cattle shed, |
|
Where a mother laid her |
|
BabyIn a manger for |
|
His bed.Mary was that mother mild, |
|
Jesus Christ her little |
|
Child.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 mean and lowly |
|
Lived on earth our |
|
Saviour holy. |
|
And our eyes at last shall see |
|
HimThrough |
|
His own redeeming love, |
|
For that C |
|
Hild so dear and gentle |
|
Is our Lord in heaven above. |
|
And He leads |
|
His children on |
|
To the place where |
|
He is gone |
