Once In Royal David's City chords
H. Gauntlett / C. Alexander 1849

G+G  D7D7 G+G   C majorC    D7D7 G+G
Once in royal David's city,
    E minorEm  D7D7   G+G
stood a lowly cattle shed
D7D7   G+G   C majorC    G+G
Where a mother laid her Baby,
   E minorEm   D7D7   G+G
in a manger for His bed
C majorC  G+G    A minorAm   G+G
Mary was that mother mild,
C majorC   G+G      D7D7   G+G
Jesus Christ, her little Child.

G+G D7D7  G+G    C majorC     D7D7 G+G
He came down to earth from heaven,
    E minorEm   D7D7   G+G
who is God and Lord of all
D7D7   G+G    C majorC   G+G
And His shelter was a stable,
    E minorEm   D7D7  G+G
and His cradle was a stall
C majorC    G+G     A minorAm    G+G
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
C majorC    G+G     D7D7   G+G
lived on earth our Savior holy.

G+G  D7D7   G+G    C majorC    D7D7  G+G
And, through all His wondrous childhood,
     E minorEm  D7D7  G+G
he would honor and obey
D7D7    G+G     C majorC   G+G
Love and watch the lowly maiden,
     E minorEm   D7D7   G+G
in whose gentle arms He lay
C majorC     G+G    A minorAm    G+G
Christian children all must be,
C majorC   G+G    D7D7   G+G
mild, obedient, good as He.

G+G  D7D7 G+G   C majorC      D7D7 G+G
For He is our childhood's pattern;
    E minorEm    D7D7   G+G
day by day, like us, He grew
D7D7   G+G    C majorC     G+G
He was little, weak, and helpless,
     E minorEm   D7D7     G+G
tears and smiles, like us He knew
C majorC   G+G     A minorAm   G+G
And He cares when we are sad,
C majorC   G+G      D7D7   G+G
and he shares when we are glad.

G+G  D7D7 G+G    C majorC     D7D7 G+G
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
      E minorEm  D7D7   G+G
through His own redeeming love
D7D7    G+G    C majorC    G+G
For that Child so dear and gentle,
    E minorEm   D7D7   G+G
is our Lord in heaven above
C majorC   G+G     A minorAm    G+G
And He leads His children on,
C majorC   G+G      D7D7  G+G
to the place where He is gone.
