1 See amid the winter's snow,
born for us on earth below,
see, the gentle lamb appears,
promised from eternal years.
There within a manger lies
he who built the starry skies;
he who, throned in heights sublime,
sits amid the cherubim.

2 Say, you holy shepherds, say,
tell your joyful news today.
Why have you now left your sheep
on the lonely mountain steep?
"As we watched at dead of night,
there appeared a wondrous light;
angels singing 'Peace on earth'
told us of the Savior's birth."
