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 SAVIOR 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
HEAVEN ABOVE
AND HE LEADS HIS
CHILDREN ON
TO THE PLACE WHERE
HE IS GONE
