Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander, 1818-1895 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.7 Appears in 407 hymnals Person Name: Cecil F. Alexander, 1818-1895 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for his bed. Mary was that mother mild; Jesus Christ, her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all, And his shelter was a stable, And his cradle was a stall. With the poor and mean and lowly Lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 And, through all his wondrous childhood, He would honor and obey, Love and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms he lay. Christian children all should be Kind, obedient, good as he. 4 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 feels for all our sadness, And he shares in all our gladness. 5 And our eyes at last shall see him, Through his own redeeming love; For that child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heav'n above. And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone. Topics: Holy Family Used With Tune: IRBY

All is safely gathered in Ere the winter storms begin. God, our Maker, does provide For our wants to be supplied. Come to God's own temple, come. Raise the song of harvest home. 2 All the world is God's own field, Fruit unto his praise to yield; Wheat and tares together sown, Unto joy or sorrow grown. First the blade, and then the ear, Then the full corn shall appear. Lord of harvest, grant that we Wholesome grain and pure may be. 3 For the Lord our God shall come And shall take his harvest home; From his field shall in that day All offenses purge away. Giving angels charge at last In the fire the tares to cast, But the fruitful ears to store In God's garner evermore. 4 Even so, Lord, quickly come To your final harvest home. Gather all your people in, Free from sorrow, free from sin. There, forever purified, In your presence to abide. Come with all your angels, come! Raise the glorious harvest home.
