Karaoké Once in Royal David's City Chant de Noël

Once in royal David 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

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

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 cares when we are sad and He shares when we are glad

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
