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 Saviour holy.

And through all His wondrous childhood,

He would honour and obey.

Love and watch the lowly mother

In whose gentle arms He lay.

Christian children, all must be

Mild, obedient, good as He.
