Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for his bed
Mary was that Mother mild
Jesus Christ her little Child

He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all
And his shelter was a stable
And his cradle was a stall
With the poor and mean and lowly
Lived on earth our Saviour holy

Not in that poor lowly stable
With the oxen standing by
We shall see him, but in heaven
Set at God's right hand on high
Where like stars his children crowned
All in white shall wait around
