born for us on earth below,
see! the tender Lamb appears
promised from eternal years.

Hail, thou ever-blessèd 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 to-day;
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]

what a tender love was thine,
thus to come from highest bliss
down to such a world as this! [Refrain] Topics: Christ Incarnate Christmas and Epiphany Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: HUMILITY (OXFORD)
