Once in royal David's city, stood a lowly cattle shed,
C7 F G7 C7 F Dm F Bb C F
where a mother laid her baby in a manger for His bed.
Bb F Csus4 C F Bb F Bb C
Mary was that mo - ther mild, Jesus Christ her little
F
child.
F C7 F C F Dm F Bb C
He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord
F
of all,
C7 F G7 C7 F Dm F Bb
And His shelter was a stable, and His cradle was
C F
a stall;
Bb F Csus4 C F Bb F
With the poor and meek and lowly, lived on earth our
Bb C F
savior holy.
F C7 F C F Dm F Bb C
And through all His wondrous childhood, he would honor
F
and obey,
C7 F G7 C7 F Dm F Bb C
Love and watch the lowly mother, in whose gentle arms
F
He lay.
Bb F Csus4 C F Bb F Bb
Christian children all should be, mild, obedient, good
C F
as He.
F C7 F C F Dm F Bb
And our eyes at last shall see Him, through his own
C F
redeeming love.
C7 F G7 C7 F Dm F
For that child so dear and gentle, is our Lord in
Bb C F
heaven above;
Bb F Csus4 C F Bb F
And He leads His children on, to the place where
Bb C F
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;
When like stars His children crowned, all in while shall wait around.
