<!-- start of lyrics -->
See amid the winter's snow,

Born for us on earth below,

See the tender Lamb appears,

Promised from eternal years.



<i>[Chorus:]</i>

Hail, thou ever-blessed morn!

Hail, redemption's happy dawn!

Sing through all Jerusalem,

Christ is born in Bethlehem.



Say, ye holy shepherds, say

What your joyful news today;

Wherefore have ye left your sheep

On the lonely mountain steep?



<i>[Chorus]</i>



Sacred infant, all divine,

What a tender love was thine,

Thus to come from highest bliss

Down to such a world as this.



<i>[Chorus]</i>
