[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!
