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.
