All the little boys he killed at Bethlem in his fury, at Bethlem in his fury. 4 Now may Mary's son, who came so long ago to love us, lead us all with hearts aflame unto the joys above us, unto the joys above us. 5 Omega and Alpha he!

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander, 1818-1895 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.7 Appears in 429 hymnals Topics: Epiphany of the Lord Lyrics: 1 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. 2 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 meek and lowly Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 And, through all his wondrous childhood, He would honor and obey, Love and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms he lay. Christian children all should be Kind, obedient, good as he. 4 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 feels for all our sadness, And he shares in all our gladness. 5 And our eyes at last shall see him, Through his own redeeming love; For that child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heav'n above. And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone. Scripture: Luke 2:7 Used With Tune: IRBY
