[Verse 1]
E
Once in royal David’s city,
E G#m E
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
E
Where a mother laid her baby,
E G#m E
In a manger for His bed:
A E B E
Mary was that mother mild,
A E B E
Jesus Christ, her little child.
[Verse 2]
E
He came down to earth from heaven,
E G#m E
Who is God and Lord of all,
E
And His shelter was a stable,
E G#m E
And His cradle was a stall:
A E B E
With the poor, and meek, and lowly,
A E B E
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
[Verse 3]
N.C.
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
N.C.
Through His own redeeming love;
N.C.
For that Child so dear and gentle,
N.C.
Is our Lord in heaven above:
N.C.
And He leads His children on,
E
To the place where He is gone.
