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, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3. But our eyes in truth should see him Through his own redeeming love, For that child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above, As he leads his children on To the place where he is gone. Not in that poor lowly stable With the oxen standing by Shall we se him, but in heaven, Set at god’s right hand on high. Then like stars his children, crowned, All in white, his praise will sound!
