SEE AMID THE WINTER'S SNOW by John Goss — Lyrics

VERSE 1 See amid the winter's snow, Born for us on earth below See the tender lamb appears, Promised from eternal years CHORUS Hail thou ever Blessed morn, Hail Redemption's happy dawn, Sing thro' all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem. VERSE 2 Lo, within a manger lies He who built the starry skies He who throned in height sublime Sits amid the Cherubim. VERSE 3 Say ye Holy shepherds say, What your joyful news today

About SEE AMID THE WINTER'S SNOW

"See Amid The Winter's Snow" is a beloved Christmas hymn that invites the choir and congregation into the quiet awe of the Nativity. The text contrasts the humble, freezing conditions of the manger with the divine majesty of the "Sacred Infant," reminding us that the Creator who "built the starry skies" chose to be born on earth below. It is a staple for Christmas Eve Masses and carol services, setting a reflective and reverent tone.

The melody carries a gentle, pastoral feel that perfectly matches the dialogue with the "Holy shepherds" and the angelic proclamation of peace on earth. When the choir reaches the joyful refrain—"Hail thou ever Blessed morn"—the mood lifts into a bright celebration of redemption's dawn. It is a fitting choice for choirs to sing during the Christmas season, drawing the faithful into the sweet humility of the newborn Christ.
