CECIL FRANCES ALEXANDER HENRY J. GAUNTLETT KEY G VERSE 1 3 3-3 34 34 34 34 -3-4 4 Once in roy - al Da-vids ci-ty, 34 45 -36 35 35 34 34 Stood a low-ly cat-tle shed, 3 3-3 34 34 -2b4 -2b4 3-4 24 Where a moth-er laid her B-aby, 34 45 -36 35 -3b5 34 34 In a man-ger for His bed: 4-64-6 46 4 4-5 4-5 35 Ma-ry was that moth-er mild, 4-64-6 46 35 35 34 34 Je-sus Christ, her lit-tle Child. VERSE 2 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. VERSE 3 And through all His wondrous childhood, He would honour and Obey, Love and watch the lowly maiden In whose Gentle arms He lay; Christian children all must Be Mild, obedient, good as he. VERSE 4 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 VERSE 5 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love; For that Child so dear and gentle, Is our Lord in heaven above: And He leads His children on, To the place where He is gone. |
