Text: | See in Yonder Manger Low |
Author: | Edward Caswall, 1814-78 |
Tune: | HUMILITY |
Composer: | John Goss |
1 See in yonder manger low,
Born for us on earth below,
See -- the gentle Lamb appears,
Promised from eternal years.
Refrain:
Hail the ever blessed morn;
Hail redemption's happy dawn;
Sing through all Jerusalem,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
2 Lo, within a stable lies
He who built the starry skies,
He who, throned in height sublime,
Sits amid the cherubim. [Refrain]
3 Sacred Infant, all divine,
What a tender love was thine,
Thus to come from highest bliss
Down to such a world as this. [Refrain]
4 Teach, oh teach us, holy Child,
By thy face so meek and mild,
Teach us to resemble thee
In thy sweet humility. [Refrain]
