See Amid The Winters Snow

Words:

See, amid the winter snow,

born for us on earth below;

see, the gentle Lamb appears,

promised from eternal years:

Chorus

Hail, O ever-blessèd morn;

hail, redemption's happy dawn;

sing through all Jerusalem:

'Christ is born in Bethlehem!'

Low within a manger lies

He who built the starry skies;

He who, throned in height sublime,

reigns above the cherubim:

Say, you humble shepherds,

say what's your joyful news today?

Tell us why you left your sheep

on the lonely mountain steep:

'As we watched at dead of night,

all around us shone a light;

angels singing "Peace on earth"

told us of a Saviour's birth.'

Sacred Infant, King most dear,

what a tender love was here,

thus to come from highest bliss

down to such a world as this!

Holy Saviour, born on earth,

teach us by Your lowly birth;

grant that we may ever be

taught by such humility.
