[Verse 1]
Once [Em]in ro[D]yal Da[Dm]vid's ci[Em]ty
[D]Stood [Gm]a lo[D]wly cattle[Em] shed,[D]
[Em]Where [D]a mother laid her b[Em]aby
[D]in [Gm]a man[Em]ger [D]for his[Em] bed.[D]
[Em]Mary [D]was[Em] tha[D]t mother[G] mild,[Em][D][Em]
[D]Je sus Christ [Em]her little [D]child.
[Em]For [D]he is our chil[Em]dhood's pattern,
[D]Day by day, like us, he grew.
He was little, weak, [Em]and helpl[D]ess,
Tears and smiles like us he [G]knew,[D]
[Em]And he f[D]eeleth f[Em]or our sadn[D]ess,
[Em]An d[D] he [Em]shar[D]eth in o[Em]ur g[D]ladn[G]ess.[D]
Not [Em]in t[D]hat poor lowly s[Em]table,[D]
With the oxen stand[Em]ing b[D]y,
We shall see him, [G]born [D]in [Em]heaven,[D]
Set at God's right [Em]hand [D]on high.
[Em]When I [D]start these
[Em]children [D]crown'd,
[Em]All ye w[D]atchers shall [Em]wait around.
