  Once in Royal David’s City
                     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

               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 Saviour holy

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 shall be around

                                                                    17

O Little Town of Bethlehem
             O little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
         Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
             Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light
         The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight

              For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all above
     While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love
             O morning stars together proclaim the holy birth
       And praises sing to God the King, and Peace to men on earth

            How silently, how silently the wonderous gift is given
        So, God imparts to human hearts the blessing of His heaven
            No ear may hear His coming but in this world of sin
      Where meek souls will receive him still the dear Christ enters in

            O Holy Child of Bethlehem, descend on us, we pray
              Cast out our sin and enter in, be born to us today

              O come to us, abide with us, O Lord Emmanuel
