See Amid The Winter's Snow

See amid the winter's snow,
Born for us on earth below,
See, the Lamb of God appears,
Promised from eternal years:

Hail, thou ever-blessed morn;
Hail Redemption's happy dawn;
Sing through all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Lo, within a manger lies
He who built the starry skies;
He who, throned in height sublime,
Sits amid the cherubim:
Hail, thou ever-blessed morn...

Say, ye holy shepherds, say,
What your joyful news today;
Wherefore have ye left your sheep
On the lonely mountains steep?
Hail, thou ever-blessed morn...

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:
Hail, thou ever-blessed morn...

Sacred infant, all divine,
What a tender love was Thine,
Thus to come from highest bliss
Down to such a world as this:
Hail, thou ever-blessed morn...

Teach, O teach us, Holy Child,
By Thy face so meek and mild,
Teach us to resemble Thee,
In Thy sweet humility:
Hail, thou ever-blessed morn...
