Verse 1

See amid the winter's snow, Born for us on earth below,
See, the gentle Lamb appears, Promised from eternal years.

Verse 2

Lo, within a manger lies He Who built the starry skies;
He Who, thronèd in height sublime, Sits amid the cherubim.

Verse 3

Say, you holy shepherds, say, Tell your joyful news today.
Why have you now left your sheep On the lonely mountain steep?

Verse 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."

Verse 5

Sacred Infant, all divine, What a tender love was Thine,
Thus to come from highest bliss Down to such a world as this.

Chorus

Hail that ever blessèd morn, Hail redemption's happy dawn,
Sing through all Jerusalem: Christ is born in Bethlehem.
