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
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
The real star in bethlehem
Was the bright and morning star
They didn't know, well not just yet
What He would mean to this world
The greatest love came for us
And we trew him in the cold
Even so He chose to come
He came down to hearth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all
And his shelter was a stable
And his cradle was a stall
Whit the poor, the mean and lowly
Lived on earth our Savior holy
The real star in bethlehem
Was the bright and morning star
They didn't know, well not just yet
What He would mean to this world
The greatest love came for us
And we trew him in the cold
Even so He chose to come
And our eyes at last shall see him
Troughh his own redeeming love
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above
