Once in royal David's city

Stood a lowly cattle shed

Where a mother laid her baby

In a manger for His bed
F    C        G7      C
Mary was that mother mild

Jesus Christ her little child

He came down to earth from heaven

Who is God and Lord of all
G   G7   C      Am     C
And His shelter was a stable
 C  Am   Em    F      C
And His cradle was a stall
 F        C      G7          C
With the poor, oppressed and lowly
 F        C         G      C
Lived on earth our Savior holy

G   G7   C
And our eyes

Through His own redeeming love
 G   G7    C        Am       C
For that child, so dear and gentle
C  Am   Em      G7      C
Is our Lord in heaven above
F       C         G7       C
And He leads His children along
F       C         G      C
To the place that He is gone
