See amid the winter's snow, Born for us on earth below, See the tender lamb appears, Promised from eternal years
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? Sacred infant, all divine, What a tender love was thine, Thus to come from highest bliss Down to such a world as this
