Author: Lavinia E. Brauff Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11279 Meter: 8.5.8.5 D First Line: Christ was once a little baby Lyrics: 1 Christ was once a little baby,
Just like you and me;
Born in Bethl’hem of Judea,
Far across the sea;
No room for the little Jesus
Could be found on earth:
And a stable dark and dreary
Was His place of birth.
2 Day by day this little Jesus
Grew like you and me:
Learned to lisp a prayer to Heaven
At His mother’s knee;
He was poor, but very happy,
Happy in God’s love:
Listening to His gentle guidance
Coming from above.
3 This is still the same dear Jesus
Of whose birth we sing;
O! ’tis sweet to tell the story
Of our newborn king;
Who was once a little baby
Just like you and me,
Born in Bethl’hem of Judea
Far across the sea. Languages: English Tune Title: BYDGOSZCZ
