eB Bes Beseseses ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID’S CITY SO VeRr2Re

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 ner little child.

He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of ail,

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, through all his wondrous childhood,
He would honour and obey,

Love,.and watch the lowly maiden

In whose gentle arms he lay:

Christian children all must be

Mild, obedient, good as he.

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 feeleth for our sadness,
And he shareth in our gladness.

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.

Not in that poor lowly stable,

With the oxen standing by,

We shall see him; but in heaven,

Set at God’s right hand on high;
When like stars his children crowned,
All in white shail wait around.

The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as
they lay:

In fields where they lay a-keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

Refrain:

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star,
Shining in the east, beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light,

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

Then entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently upon their knee,

And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That hath made heaven and earth of

And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the staz wherever it went.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

This star drew nigh to the northwest,
O’er Bethlehem it took its rest, ,

And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
