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

G               C           G        D  
He came down to earth from heaven, who is God and Lord of all,  
G                   C               G        D  
And His shelter was a stable, and His cradle was a stall;  
G                 C             G         D  
With the poor, and mean, and lowly, lived on earth our Saviour holy.  

G                C           G        D  
And through all His wondrous childhood, He would honor and obey,  
G                C           G         D  
Love and watch the lowly maiden in whose gentle arms He lay;  
G                C            G         D  
Christian children all must be mild, obedient, good as He.
