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.
The Christmas carol "Once in Royal David's City" was originally written as a poem by Cecil Frances Alexander, a female hymnwriter whose other credits include "All Things Bright and Beautiful". The music for the carol was written by English organist Arthur Henry Mann.

Late 18th Century
The most westerly City in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) is St Davids in Pembrokeshire, Wales. St Davids was granted city status by Queen Elizabeth II in 1995.
St Davids is considered a city because it has a cathedral, St Davids Cathedral, which historically granted it city status. In the UK, city status is often associated with the presence of a significant church or cathedral. In contrast, Swindon, despite its larger population and urban status, does not have a cathedral and thus does not hold city status. City status in the UK is not solely based on size or population but rather on historical and ceremonial criteria.
