532. See, amid the winter's snow

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

Refrain:
Hail thou ever blessèd morn!
Hail redemption’s happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.

2 Lo, within a manger lies,
He Who built the starry skies;
He Who, throned in height sublime,
Sits amid the cherubim. [Refrain]

3 Say, ye holy shepherds, say,
What your joyful news to-day?
Wherefore have ye left your sheep
On the lonely mountain steep? [Refrain]

4 "As we watched at dead of night,
Lo! we saw a wondrous light;
Angels singing ‘Peace on earth,’
Told us of the Saviour’s birth." [Refrain]

5 Sacred Infant, all Divine,
What a tender love was Thine,
Thus to come from highest bliss
Down to such a world as this! [Refrain]

6 Teach, O teach us, Holy Child,
By Thy face so meek and mild,
Teach us to resemble Thee,
In Thy sweet humility. [Refrain]

Amen.
