Once in Royal David's City

Misc. Christmas
 FC7FBbCFFC7F
 FC7FCFDmFBbCF
 Once in royal David's city, stood a lowly cattle  shed,
 C7FG7C7FDmFBbCF
where a mother laid her baby in a manger for His  bed.
 BbFCsus4CFBbFBbCF
 Mary was that mo - ther mild, Jesus Christ her little child.

 FC7FCFDmFBbCF
 He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all,
 C7FG7C7FDmFBbCF
And His shelter was a stable, and His cradle was a stall;
 BbFCsus4CFBbFBbCF
 With the poor and meek and lowly, lived on earth our savior holy.

 FC7FCFDmFBbCF
 And through all His wondrous childhood, he would honor and obey,
 C7FG7C7FDmFBbCF
Love and watch the lowly mother, in whose gentle arms He lay.
 BbFCsus4CFBbFBbCF
 Christian children all should be, mild, obedient, good as He.

 FC7FCFDmFBbCF
 And our eyes at last shall see Him, through his own redeeming love.
 C7FG7C7FDmFBbCF
For that child so dear and gentle, is our Lord in heaven above;
 BbFCsus4CFBbFBbCF
 And He leads His children on, to the place where he is gone.

 FC7FCFDmFBbCF
 Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by,
 C7FG7C7FDmFBbCF
We shall see Him, but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high;
 BbFCsus4CFBbFBbCF
 When like stars His children crowned, all in while shall wait around.
