(Repeat Chorus) COMPOSER UNKNOWN © 1972 Scripture in Song Used by Permission CCL Licence No 87369 Scripture In Song No 42 “Once in Royals David‟s City” 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 Saviour holy. 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. 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.
