Once in royal David's city,
CStoodAm a Emlowly Gcattle Cshed,
GWhere a Cmother Amlaid herG BaCby,
CInAm a Emmanger Gfor His Cbed:
FMaryC was that G7mother Cmild,
FJesus CChrist, her FlitGtle CChild.
GHe came Cdown to Amearth from GheaCven,
CWho Amis EmGod and GLord of Call,
GAnd His Cshelter Amwas a GstaCble,
CAnd AmHis Emcradle Gwas a Cstall:
FWith the Cpoor, and G7mean, and Clowly,
FLived on Cearth our FSavGiour Choly.
GAnd through Call His Amwondrous GchildChood
CHe would Amhonour Gand Cobey,
GLove and Cwatch the Amlowly GmaiCden,
CIn Amwhose Emgentle Garms He Clay:
FChristian Cchildren G7all must Cbe
FMild, oCbedient, Fgood Gas CHe.
GFor He Cis our Amchildhood's GpatCtern;
CDay Amby Emday, like Gus, He Cgrew;
GHe was Clittle, Amweak, and GhelpCless,
CTears Amand Emsmiles, like Gus He Cknew;
FAnd He Ccares when G7we are Csad,
FAnd he Cshares when Fwe Gare Cglad.
GAnd our Ceyes at Amlast shall Gsee CHim,
CThrough AmHis Emown reGdeeming Clove;
GFor that CChild so Amdear and GgenCtle,
CIs Amour EmLord in Gheaven Cabove:
FAnd He Cleads His G7children Con,
FTo the Cplace where FHe Gis Cgone.
GNot in Cthat poor Amlowly GstaCble,
CWith Amthe Emoxen Gstanding Cby,
GWe shall Csee Him; Ambut in GheaCven,
CSet Amat EmGod's right Ghand on Chigh;
FWhere like Cstars His G7children Ccrowned
FAll in Cwhite shall FwaiGt aCround.
