Once in roy-al Da-vids cit-y, 
  3  -4 -5  -4 -4-3 3-2*  3
Stood a low-ly cat- tle shed, 
  -1 -2*  3  3  3-2* 3-3 -3 3 
Where a moth-er laid her Ba-by, 
3 -4 -5   3 -4-3 3-2* 3
In a man-ger for His bed: 
6  6  -5   3    4   4   -4
Ma-ry was that moth-er mild, 
6   6    -5    -4 -4-3 3-2*  3
Je-sus Christ, her lit-tle Child. 

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.

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
