Once in royal David's city, stood a lowly cattle shed,
DO7 FA SOL7 DO7 FA REm FA SIb DO FA
where a mother laid her baby in a manger for His bed.

Mary was that mo - ther mild, Jesus Christ her little child.
FA DO7 FA DO FA REm FA SIb DO FA
He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all,
DO7 FA SOL7 DO7 FA REm FA SIb DO FA
And His shelter was a stable, and His cradle was a stall;
SIb FA DOsus4 DO FA SIb FA SIb DO FA
With the poor and meek and lowly, lived on earth our savior holy.
FA DO7 FA DO FA REm FA SIb DO FA
And through all His wondrous childhood, he would honor and obey,
DO7 FA SOL7 DO7 FA REm FA SIb DO FA
Love and watch the lowly mother, in whose gentle arms He lay.
SIb FA DOsus4 DO FA SIb FA SIb DO FA
Christian children all should be, mild, obedient, good as He.
FA DO7 FA DO FA REm FA SIb DO FA
And our eyes at last shall see Him, through his own redeeming love.
DO7 FA SOL7 DO7 FA REm FA SIb DO FA
For that child so dear and gentle, is our Lord in heaven above;
SIb FA DOsus4 DO FA SIb FA SIb DO FA
And He leads His children on, to the place where he is gone.
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 while shall wait around.
