83. See, amid the winter's snow

1 See, amid the winter's snow,
born for us on earth below,
see, the Lamb of God appears,
promised from eternal years!

Refrain:
Hail, thou ever-blessed morn!
Hail, redemption's happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem:
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

2 Lo, within a manger lies
he who built the starry skies,
he who, throned in height sublime,
sits amid the cherubim! [Refrain]

3 Say, ye holy shepherds, say,
what your joyful news today;
wherefore have ye left your sheep
on the lonely mountain steep? [Refrain]

4 '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.' [Refrain]

5 Sacred Infant, all divine,
what a tender love was thine,
thus to come from highest bliss
down to such a world as this! [Refrain]
