Hymn 479 ONCE IN ROYAL DAVI’S CITY Lyrics<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. Once in royal David’s city,
\n\tStood a lonely cattle-shed,
\n\tWhere a mother laid her baby,
\n\tIn the manger for His bed.
\n\tMary was the mother mild,
\n\tJesus Christ her little child.<\/p>\n
\t2. He came down to earth from heaven.
\n\tWho is God and Lord of all,
\n\tAnd His shelter was a stable,
\n\tAnd His cradle was a stall.
\n\tWith poor, and mean, and lowly
\n\tLived on earth our Saviour holy.<\/p>\n
\t3. And through all His wondrous childhood
\n\tHe would honour and obey,
\n\tLove and watch the lowly maiden,
\n\tIn whose gentle arms He lay Christian children
\n\tall must be Mild, obedient, good as He.<\/p>\n
\t4. For He is our childhood’s pattern:
\n\tDay by day like us He grew
\n\tHe as little, weak and helpless
\n\tTears and smiles like us He knew;
\n\tAnd He fecleth for our sadness.
\n\tAnd He shareth in our gladness.<\/p>\n
\t5. And our eyes at last shall see Him
\n\tThrough His own redeeming love:
\n\tFor that child so dear and gentle
\n\tIs our Lord in heaven above;
\n\tAnd He leads His children on
\n\tTo the place where He is gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
