Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #165 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 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 Christ came down to earth from heaven
love incarnate for us all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall;
with the poor, the scorned, the 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;
Thus he feels for our sadness,
and he shares in all our gladness.
5 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love;
for that child who seemed so helpless,
lives and reigns in heaven above;
and he leads his children on
to the place where he is gone. Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Birth; Christian Year: Christmas; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ: Birth Scripture: Luke 2:7 Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

Author: Carl G. Seaburg, 1932-; Mrs. C. F. Alexander Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #228 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 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;
so may we when lie turns hard
find in love our stay and guard.
2 Shepherds came to see this wonder,
and to kneel in holy awe
at that lowly stable manger
where the infant lay on straw;
so may we this happy morn
honor every child that's born.
3 From afar three magi journeyed
to that stable rude and bare,
to pay homage to the infant,
offering gifts both rich and rare;
so may we our gifts bestow,
whether we be high or low.
4 In that happy Christmas spirit,
hear the angels from on high
sing their ancient salutations:
joy's a gift you cannot buy.
So may we, with heart that sings,
share the truth this season brings. Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

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.

And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall.

Lived on earth, our Savior holy.

Thro' His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is the Lord in heav'n above.
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.

Author: Cecil Frances (Humphreys) Alexander Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #608 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 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 poorest of the earth
Was our holy Savior's birth.
3 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. Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY
