Wartburg Hymnal ‎#128

128. See, amid the winter's snow

1 See, amid the winter’s snow,
Born for us on earth below,
See, the tender Lamb appears,
Promised from eternal years!

Refrain:
Hail that ever blesséd 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 you now 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 Savior’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]
