	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.

	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 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.

	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;
	Where like stars His children crowned
	All in white shall wait around.

	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.

	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 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.

	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
	Where like stars His children crowned
	All in white shall wait around.

	Once in royal David' s city
