1 See amid the winter's snow,
Born for us on earth below,
See the tender Lamb 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's 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 the 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]
6 Teach, O teach us, holy Child,
By thy face so meek and mild,
Teach us to resemble thee,
In thy sweet humility. [Refrain]
7 Virgin mother, Mary blest,
By the joys that fill thy breast,
Pray for us, that we may prove
Worthy of the Savior's love. [Refrain]
