Once in royal |
|
David's city |
|
Stood a lowly cattle shed |
|
Where a mother laid her baby |
|
In a manger for |
|
His bedMary 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, oppressed and wholly |
|
Lived on earth our |
|
Savior holy |
|
And our eyes |
|
At last shall see |
|
HimThrough |
|
His own redeeming love |
|
For that child, so dear and gentle |
|
Is our Lord in heaven above |
|
And He leads |
|
His children along |
|
To the place where |
|
He is gone |
