Once In Royal David's City Lyrics - Come Darkness Come Light: Twelve Songs Christmas - Mary Chapin Carpenter

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 

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 

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

Lord in that poor lowly stable with the oxen standing by 

We shall see Him but in heaven, said hath God's right hand on high 

When like stars His children crowned, all in white shall wait around 

And He leads His children on to the place where He is gone
