Christmas Songs for Children - Once In Royal David’s City Lyrics

ONCE IN ROYAL DAVIDS 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.

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 CARES WHEN WE ARE SAD,
AND HE SHARES WHEN WE ARE GLAD.

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.

We hope to share our passion for both children's education and music through YouTube to provide an opportunity for children to learn in their own way, and develop accordingly. :)
