Hymns and Songs for Catholic Children ‎#17

17. See, Amid The Winter's Snow

1 See amid the winter’s snow,
Born for us on earth below;
Christ our Lord is born for us on earth below.
See, the tender Lamb appears,
Promised from eternal years!
Sing thro' all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem;
Sing Christ our Lord is born a child in Bethlehem.

Chorus:
Hail, thou ever-blessed morn!
Hail, Redemption's happy dawn!
Sing thro' all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem;
Sing Christ our Lord is born a child in Bethlehem.

2 Lo! within a manger lies
He who built the starry skies;
Mary's child is he who built the starry skies.
He who, thron'd in height sublime,
Sits among the Cherubim! [Chorus]

3 Say, ye holy shepherds, say,
What your joyful news to-day?
What can be your glad and joyful news to-day?
Wherefore have ye left your sheep
On the lonely mountain steep? [Chorus]

4 "As we watched at dead of night,
Lo! we saw a wondrous light:
High in heaven, lo! we saw a wondrous light!
Angels singing 'Peace on earth!'
Told us of the Saviour's birth." [Chorus]

5 Sacred Infant, all divine,
What a tender love was Thine!
Blessed Saviour, what a tender love was Thine!
Thus to come from highest bliss
Down to such a world as this! [Chorus]

6 Teach, oh! teach us, Holy Child,
By Thy face so meek and mild,
By Thy sacred little face so meek and mild–
Teach us to resemble Thee,
In Thy sweet humility. [Chorus]

7 Virgin Mother, Mary blest
By the joys that fill thy breast,
By the flood of heavenly joys that fill thy breast,
Pray for us, that we may prove
Worthy of the Saviour's love. [Chorus]
