Excellent! Thanks a bunch. I might have been incorrect in thinking the song on my cd is in Irish...

Cheers,

Hi, I too would like to find these lyrics, but seems like the link in the reply from George Seto is not working. Can anyone help with that?
Cheers,
John

Ann am Baile Rìoghail Dhaibhidh,
Ann am bàthaich ìosail thruaigh,
Chàirich màthair chaomh, a Leanabh
Anns a' phrasaich, 's e 'na shuain.
Moire ainm na màthar chaoimh,
Iosa Crìosd a Leanabh gaoil.

2
Thùirling E bho nèamh gu talamh
Ged bu Dhia nan uile E,
B'e an staball thug dha fasgadh,
B'i a chreathail prasach bhreun.
Leis a' bhochd is leis an truaghan
Thàthaich Slànaighear caomh neo-thruaillidh.

3
Is tre laithean àigh a leanabachd
Thug E urram agus spéis,
Umhlachd gr...idh do'n mhaighdinn ainnir
Dh'altraim E 'na uile fheum.
Sin mar dh'fheumas òigridh Chrìosda
Spèis is urram thoirt do dh'Iosa.

4
Oir is Esan ar Eiseamplair,
Dh'fhàs E suas mar aon d'ar seòrs';
Bha E lag is maoth neo-lochdach,
Shil E deòir is chluich E spòrs.
'S tha cho-fhaireachdainn gun chaochladh
Ann am bròn 's an aoibhneas daonnan.

5
Is ar sùilean chì fa-dheòidh E,
Tre a ghrÀdh tha sìorraidh buan;
Oir an leanabh ud bha ìosal
'S rìgh a-nis 's na nèamhaibh shuas;
'S tha E treòrachadh a chloinne
Gus an àit' san deach E romhainn.

6
Chan ann a-nis san stàball shuarach,
Leis na h-ainmhidhean mun cuairt,
Ach 's na nèamhaibh air a chàradh
Aig deas làimh na naomhachd shuas.
Is mu thimcheall air an crùnadh
A' chlann bheag a thug dha ùmhlachd.

Once in Royal David's City

First published in the hymnbook: Hymns for little children, by Cecil Alexander, 1848, PP.30-31.

1
Once in royal David's 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.

2
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.

3
And through all His wondrous childhood
He would honour and obey,
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms He lay.
Christian children all must be
Mild, obedient, good as He.

4
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.

5
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.

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.
