Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 425 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 2:18 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 mean, and lowly Lived on earth, our Savior holy. 3 Jesus 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. 4 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Thro' 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.
