1.
- Once in royal David's city
- stood a lowly cattleshed,
- 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 af 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.
3.
- And through all his wondrous childhood
- He would honour and obey,
- Love and watch the lowly maiden,
- In whose gentle arms he lay:
- Christian children all must be
- Mild, 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 feeleth for our sadness,
- And he shareth in our gladness.
5.
- 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.
6.
- Not in that poor lowly stable,
- with the oxen standing by,
- we shall see him; but in heaven,
- Set at God's right hand on high;
- When like stars his children crowned
- all in white shall wait around.
- Words: Cecil F. Alexander, Hymns for Little Children, 1848.
