Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil F. Alexander, 1818-1898 Hymnal: One in Faith #394 (2015) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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, the scorned, the lowly,
Lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 For he is our lifelong pattern;
Daily, when on earth he grew,
He was tempted, scorned, rejected,
Tears and smiles like us he knew:
Thus he feels for all our sadness,
And he shares in all our gladness.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
Through his own redeeming love,
For that child who seemed so helpless
Is the Lord in heav'n above:
And he leads his children on
To the place where he has gone.
5 Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing round,
We shall see him, but in heaven,
Where his saints his throne surround:
Christ, revealed to faithful eye,
Set at God's right hand on high. Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

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.
2 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 Savior holy.
3 And through all his wondrous childhood
He would honor and obey,
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms he lay.
Christian children all should be
Kind, obedient, good as he.
4 For he is our childhood's pattern,
Day by day like us he grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us he knew:
And he feels for all our sadness,
And he shares in all our gladness.
5 And our eyes at last shall see him,
Thru 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 has gone. Topics: Holy Family; Christmas Season; Holy Family; Children's Hymns; Heaven; Second Coming Scripture: Luke 2:7 Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY
