About this episode

Video of the Christmas Carol Once in royal David's cityProduced by ianbritton.co.ukSoundtrack recorded live at the NBA Big Sing, Cambridge Road, Middlesbrough. Once in royal David's citystood 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, the scorned, the lowly,lived on earth our Savior holy.And, through all his wondrous childhood,he would honor and obey,love and watch the lowly maidenin whose gentle arms he lay:Christian children all must bemild, obedient, good as he.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 feeleth for our sadness,and he shareth in our gladness.And our eyes at last shall see him,through his own redeeming love;for that Child who seemed so helplessis our Lord in heaven above;and he leads his children onto the place where he is gone.Not in that poor lowly stable,with the oxen standing round,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.
