Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 429 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:2-11 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 Saviour holy. 3 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 shall gather round.

The arms of love that compass me, hold all the human race, hold all the human race. 5 His only righteousness I show, his saving grace proclaim; 'tis all my business here below to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!' to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!' 6 Happy, if with my latest breath I may but gasp his name; preach him to all, and cry in death: 'Behold, behold the Lamb!'

O where is he that spake and demons from their victims flee, the dead their slumbers break, the palsied rise in freedom strong, the speechless talk and sing, and from blind eyes benighted long bright beams of morning spring? 2 O where is he that trod the sea? O where is he that spake and piercing words of liberty the deaf ears open shake, and mildest words artrest the haste of fever's deadly fire, and strong ones heal the weak who waste their lives in sad desire? 3 O where is he that trod the sea? 'Tis only he can save; to thousands hung'ring wearily a wondrous meal he gave; full soon with bread from heaven fed, their rustic fare they take; 'twas springtide when he bless'd the bread, and harvest when he brake. 4 O where is he that trod the sea? My soul, the Lord is here! Let all thy fears be hushed in thee; be thine to look, to hear; he all thy needs will satisfy. Art thou diseased or dumb, or dost thou in thy hunger cry?
