Verse 1:
G             C       D  G          Em    D      G
Once in royal David's city, stood a lowly cattle shed
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

Verse 2:
G               C          D   G          Em      D       G
He came down to earth from heaven, who is God and Lord of all
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

Verse 3:
G             C           D   G                   Em    D    G
And, through all His wondrous childhood, he would honor and obey
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

Verse 4:
G             C           D  G            Em        D      G
For He is our childhood's pattern, day by day, like us, He grew
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

Verse 5:
G               C          D   G                Em    D       G
And our eyes at last shall see Him, through His own redeeming love
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
