Once within a Lowly Stable

Lyrics

1. 1. Once within a lowly stable,

   Where the sheep and oxen lay,

   A loving mother laid her baby

   In a manger filled with hay.

   Mary was the mother there,

   And the Christ that baby fair.

2. 2. God sent us this loving baby

   From his home in heav’n above,

   And he came down to show all people

   How to help and how to love.

   This is why the angels bright

   Sang for joy that Christmas night.
