[00:00.00] | Once in royal David’s City |
[00:01.08] | |
[00:01.73] | 1. Once in royal David's city |
[00:08.48] | Stood a lowly cattle shed, |
[00:16.55] | Where a mother laid her Baby |
[00:24.54] | In a manger for His bed: |
[00:32.84] | Mary was that mother mild, |
[00:41.05] | Jesus Christ her little Child. |
[00:51.62] | 2. He came down to earth from heaven, |
[00:59.19] | Who is God and Lord of all, |
[01:07.17] | And His shelter was a stable, |
[01:14.70] | And His cradle was a stall; |
[01:22.63] | With the poor, and mean, and lowly, |
[01:29.96] | Lived on earth our Savior holy. |
[01:37.44] | 3. But our eyes in truth should see him |
[01:48.08] | Through his own redeeming love, |
[01:55.91] | For that child so dear and gentle |
[02:03.42] | Is our Lord in heaven above, |
[02:11.45] | As he leads his children on |
[02:19.25] | To the place where he is gone. |
[02:29.47] | Not in that poor lowly stable |
[02:36.75] | With the oxen standing by |
[02:45.50] | Shall we se him, but in heaven, |
[02:52.15] | Set at god’s right hand on high. |
[02:59.57] | Then like stars his children, crowned, |
[03:07.54] | All in white, his praise will sound! |
