Verse 1: G C G Once in royal David’s city, Em D7 G stood a lowly cattle shed D7 G C G Where a mother laid her Baby, Em D7 G in a manger for His bed C G Am G Mary was that mother mild, C G D7 G Jesus Christ, her little Child. Verse 2: G D7 G C G He came down to earth from heaven, Em D7 G who is God and Lord of all D7 G C G And His shelter was a stable, Em D7 G and His cradle was a stall C G Am G With the poor, and mean, and lowly, C G D7 G lived on earth our Saviour holy. Verse 3: G D7 G C G And, through all His wondrous childhood, Em D7 G He would honour and obey D7 G C G Love and watch the lowly maiden, Em D7 G in whose gentle arms He lay C G Am G Christian children all must be, C G D7 G mild, obedient, good as He. Verse 4: G C G For He is our childhood’s pattern; Em D7 G day by day, like us, He grew D7 G C G He was little, weak, and helpless, Em D7 G tears and smiles, like us He knew C G Am G And He cares when we are sad, C G D7 G and He shares when we are glad. Verse 5: G C G And our eyes at last shall see Him, Em D7 G through His own redeeming love D7 G C G For that Child so dear and gentle, Em D7 G is our Lord in heaven above C G Am G And He leads His children on, C G D7 G to the place where He is gone.
