Once Within a Lowly Stable Lyrics
This song is published in the Children’s Songbook Page #41
You can find Once Within a Lowly Stable sheet music here.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
“Once Within a Lowly Stable” by Patty Smith Hill (1868–1946) and Mildred Hil. Used under public domain.
