Once in Royal David's City

Once in Royal David's City - Gran Coro de Villancicos

Once in royal David's city

Stood a lowly cattle shed

There a mother laid her baby

In a manger for his bed

Mary was that mother mild

Jesus Christ her little child

For he is our childhood's pattern

Day by day like us he grew

He was little weak and helpless

Tears and smiles like us he knew

And he cares when we are sadness

And he shares when we are glad

And our eyes

At last shall see him

Through his own redeeming love

For that child so dear and gentle

Is our lord in heaven above

And he leads his children along

To the place that he is gone
