Once in Royal David’s City

Christmas Carols Karaoke

Available for over a year

Sing along with Wayne Marshall's improvised piano backing track for this traditional Christmas song - part of Radio 3's Christmas Carols Karaoke! Lyrics Once in Royal David’s City 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. 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 Saviour holy. 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 on to the place where he is gone. Not in that poor, lowly stable with the oxen standing by we shall see him, but in heaven, set at God’s right hand on high; when, like stars, his children, crowned, all in white shall wait around.
