{comment: Verse 1}                     
[C]Once in royal David's city, 
Stood a lowly cattle shed.
Where a mother laid her baby, 
In a manger for His bed.
[F]Mary [C]was that [Dm]mother [C]mild, 
[F]Jesus [C]Christ, her [G]little [C]Child.

{comment: Verse 2}  
[C]He came down to [F]earth from [C]heaven, 
[C]Who is [Am]God and [G]Lord of [C]all,
[G]And His [C]shelter [F]was a [C]stable, 
[C]And His [Am]cradle [G]was a [C]stall;     
[F]With the [C]poor and [Dm]mean and [C]lowly, 
[F]Lived on [C]earth our [G]Savior [C]holy.

{comment: Verse 3}  
[C]For He is our [F]childhood's [C]pattern, 
[C]Day by [Am]day, like [G]us, He [C]grew.  
[G]He was [C]little, [F]weak, and [C]helpless, 
[C]Tears and [Am]smiles, like [G]us, He [C]knew;     
[F]And he [C]feeleth [Dm]for our [C]sadness, 
[F]And he [C]shareth in [G]our [C]gladness.

{comment: Verse 4}          
[C]And our eyes at [F]last shall [C]see Him, 
[C]Through His [Am]own red[G]eeming [C]love.        
[G]For that [C]Child so [F]dear and [C]gentle, 
[C]Is our [Am]Lord in [G]heaven ab[C]ove;
[F]And He [C]leads His [Dm]children [C]on, 
[F]To the [C]place where [G]He is [C]gone.
