    In 1964 I lived in a small village called Mickleover in Derby. There was a new church that had recently been built, our award winning school choir walked in singing this carol. I was bursting with pride at the capacity audience, it still lives me 60 years later.

    This particular arrangement is by far my favorite for this underrated hymn. Especially that descant at the end, it's like the heavens opened up and all the angels sang with a joyous voice. And I think this choir did a magnificent performance, BRAVO!!

      6. Not in that poor lowly stable,
      With the oxen standing by,
      We shall see Him; but in heaven,
      Set at God's right hand on high;
      Where like stars His children crowned
      All in white shall wait around.

    I haven’t an idea of the hymn or the words. However its sheer beauty and effect on my soul draws me to it over and over. I respond to this with tears for reasons unknown to me. My heart opens and my pain flows out and I am soothed.

    I listen to this while studying abroad in the USA on a quiet night, it takes me back to the warmth of being with my family at Christmas, and the joy of my younger self at the idea of being with my grandparents. The warmth of the yellow bulb light of their houses after Christmas dinner and the bleak cold of the English winter outside. This takes me back to those nice times and being cold in the village church on Christmas Eve. Thank you for the upload

    This is to Mrs Muriel Wallace. A petite, strong and lovely 80 year old British woman I worked for. Describing this song being in the yearly Christmas program with the Royal family made her voice break, remembering and longing to hear it again. That’s what brought me here. So lovely, just like my memory of 1987 with Mrs. Wallace.

    Once in royal Davids city,
    Stood 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, and mean, and lowly,
    Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
    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 cares when we are sad,
    And he shares when we are glad.
    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.

    And through all

    Love and watch the lowly mother,
    In whose gentle arms He lay.
    Christian children all should be,
    Mild, obedient, good as He.
