When I hunger, Jesus feeds me, Into pleasant pastures leads me; When I thirst, He bids me go Where the quiet waters flow. 3 Who so happy as I am, Even now the Shepherd's lamb? And when my short life is ended, By His angel host attended, He shall fold me to His breast, There within His arms to rest.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: C. F. Alexander1818-95 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 415 hymnals Lyrics: 1 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 Savior holy. 3 Jesus 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. 4 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love; For that Child, so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heav'n above; And he leads His children on To the place where He is gone. 5 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; Where, like stars, His children crowned, All in white shall wait around.
