- See, amid the winter's snow,
Born for us on earth below,
See, the tender Lamb appears,
Promised from eternal years.
Chorus:
Hail, thou ever-blessed morn!
Hail, Redemption's happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem:
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
- Lo, within a manger lies
He who built the starry skies,
He, who throned in height sublime,
Sits amid the Cherubim.
Chorus:
- Say, ye holy shepherds, say,
What your joyful news today;
Wherefore have ye left your sheep
On the lonely mountains steep?
Chorus:
- As we watched at dead of night,
Lo, we saw a wondrous light:
Angels, singing peace on earth,
Told us of a Saviour's birth.
Chorus:
- Sacred Infant, all divine,
What a tender love was Thine,
Thus to come from highest bliss
Down to such a world as this!
Chorus:
- Teach, 0 teach us, Holy Child,
By Thy face so meek and mild,
Teach us to resemble Thee
In Thy sweet humility.
Chorus:
