Once within a Lowly Stable
Children’s Songbook
(1989, 2017 ed.), no. 41
1. Once within a lowly stable,Where the sheep and oxen lay,A loving mother laid her babyIn a manger filled with hay.Mary was the mother there,And the Christ that baby fair.
2. God sent us this loving babyFrom his home in heav’n above,And he came down to show all peopleHow to help and how to love.This is why the angels brightSang for joy that Christmas night.
