Verse 1

F

Once in royal David's city stood 

A lowly cattle shed where a mother laid her baby

                         Bb   F/A   

In a manger for His bed, Mary was that

Mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child

He came down to earth from heaven,

 F     Bb/D     F C     F

Who is God and Lord of all,

 F                      C

And his shelter was a stable,

F/A       Bb    C      F

And his cradle was a stall

With the poor and mean and lowly,

Lived on earth our Saviour holy.

For that Child, so dear and gentle,

F/A     Bb       C      F

Is our Lord in heaven above;

Bb      F/A        Gm      F

And He leads His children on,

To the place where He is gone.

 F       Bb/D  F C     F

With the oxen standing by,

F                          C  

We shall see Him, but in heaven,

F/A     Bb          C       F

Set at God's right hand on high;

Bb        F/A         Gm        F

When like stars His children crowned,

Bb     F/A          F C   F

All in white shall wait around.

Bb        F/A         Gm        F

When like stars His children crowned,

All in white shall wait around.

And You You are You are God. You are God, God, God
