Full 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 through 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,
Sit amid the Cherubim!
VERSE 3
Say, ye Holy Shepherds, say,
What your joyful news today;
Wherefore have ye 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 a Saviour's birth".
VERSE 5
Sacred infant, all divine,
What a tender love is thine;
Thus to come from highest bliss
Down to such a world as this!
VERSE 6
Teach, O teach us, Holy Child,
By Thy face so meek and mild,
Teach us to resemble Thee
In Thy sweet humility.
