Gauntlett / Ar Rutter: Once in Royal David's City

Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby
was that mother mild,
her little child.
He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all, And His cradle was a stall; With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Savior Holy.Love and watch the lowly Maiden, For He is our childhood's pattern;
(1)Through His own redeeming love;
Is our Lord in heaven above,
We shall see Him;
but in heaven,
Where like stars His children crowned (2)
