Once In Royal Davids City

F  C  F G C  F  C  G  C

        Am    F       C             F     G      C
Once in royal David's city, stood a lowly cattle shed
        Am     F        C         F      G       C
Where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed
F    C        G      C
Mary was that mother mild
F     C          G      C
Jesus Christ her little child

        Am      F          C              F       G       C
He came down to earth from heaven, who is god and lord of all
        Am      F     C              F      G     C
And his shelter was a stable and his cradle was a stall
F        C        G        C
With the poor and meek and lowly
F        C         G       C
Lived on earth our saviour holy

        Am      F          C                    F     G       C
And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love
         Am       F        C              F       G       C
For that child so dear and gentle, is our lord in heaven above
F      C         G        C
And he leads his children on
F      C           G     C
To the place where he is gone

       Am        F     C                F    G        C
Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by
         Am       F      C              F           G       C
We shall see him, but in heaven, set at god's right hand on high
F         C        G      C
There his children gather round
F           C           G        C
Bright like stars, they glow him round

F    C        G      C
Mary was that mother mild
F     C          G      C
Jesus Christ her little child
