see, the Lamb of God appears,
promised from eternal years!

Hail, thou ever-blessed morn!
Hail, redemption's happy dawn!

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]

lo, we saw a wondrous light;

told us of a 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: Angels; Children and All-Age Worship; Christmas; Christmas Day; Church Year Christmas; Jesus Names and images for Scripture: Micah 5:2 Languages: English Tune Title: HUMILITY (OXFORD)
