See amid the winter's snow / John Goss

See amidst the winter's snow,

Born for us on earth below;

See the tender lamb apears,

Promis'd from eternal years.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

Say, ye holy shepherds, say

What your joyful news today;

Wherefore have you left your sheep,

On the lonely mountain steep?

Refrain

As we watch'd at dead of night,

lo,we saw a wondrous light;

angels singing, peace on earth

told us of the Saviour's birth.

Refrain

Sacred infant, all divine,

what a tender love was thine,

thus to come from highest bliss

down to such a world as this.

Refrain

Teach, O teach us, Holy Child,

by thy face so meek and mild,

Teach us to resemble thee,

in thy sweet humility:
