[Eb]Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for His bed
[Ab]Mary [Eb]was that [Fm]mother [Eb]mild
[Ab]Jesus [Eb]Christ, her [Bb]little [Eb]Child

[Bb]He was [Eb]little, [Ab]weak, and [Eb]helpless
[Eb]Tears and [Cm]smiles, like [Bb]us, He [Eb]knew

[Eb]And our eyes at [Ab]last shall [Eb]see Him
[Eb]Through His [Cm]own red[Bb]eeming [Eb]love

[Eb]Is our [Cm]Lord in [Bb]heaven ab[Eb]ove
[Ab]And He [Eb]leads His [Fm]children [Eb]on
[Ab]To the [Eb]place where [Bb]He is [Eb]gone
