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
