D7           G         C         G               Em      D       G
Where a mother laid her Baby, in a manger for His bed
C       G            Am        G      C       G              D      G
Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ, her little Child

He came down to earth from heaven, who is God and Lord of all
D7             G         C        G                  Em      D       G
And His shelter was a stable, and His cradle was a stall
C              G              Am           G        C          G             D      G
With the poor, and mean, and lowly, lived on earth our Savior holy

G       D7  G                 C            D     G                      Em     D      G
And, through all His wondrous childhood, he would honor and obey
D7             G               C        G                       Em     D           G
Love and watch the lowly maiden, in whose gentle arms He lay
C              G          Am       G   C           G          D          G
Christian children all must be, mild, obedient, good as He

G    D7 G          C              D    G              Em        D           G
For He is our childhood's pattern, day by day, like us, He grew
D7          G       C              G                               Em         D         G
He was little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles, like us He knew
C              G              Am       G       C           G               D           G
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
D7            G            C              G               Em          D          G
For that Child so dear and gentle, is our Lord in heaven above
C              G              Am     G   C         G               D         G
And He leads His children on, to the place where He is gone
