ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID'S CITY PUBLIC DOMAIN PERFORMED BY: CBC CHOIR

30 ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID'S CITY

CAROLS LYRICS 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.

FOR HE IS OUR CHILDHOOD'S PATTERN: DAY BY DAY LIKE US HE GREW, HE WAS LITTLE, WEAK AND HELPLESS, TEARS AND SMILES LIKE US HE KNEW; AND HE FEELETH FOR OUR SADNESS, AND HE SHARETH IN OUR GLADNESS.

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; WHEN LIKE STARS HIS CHILDREN CROWN'D ALL IN WHITE SHALL WAIT AROUND. CAROLS LYRICS
