305. Christ Is Born

1 See amid the winter’s snow,
Born for us on earth below;
See! the tender Lamb appears,
Promised from eternal years.

Chorus:
Hail! hail! hail! thou ever-blessed morn!
Hail! hail! hail! redemption’s happy dawn!
Sing thro’ all Jerusalem!
Christ is born in Bethlehem.

2 Lo! within a manger lies,
He who built the starry skies;
He who, throned in heights sublime,
Sits amid the cherubim. [Chorus]

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