1 See amid the winter's snow, Born for us on earth below, See, the gentle Lamb appears, Promised from eternal years. Hail that ever bless�d 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, thron�d in height sublime, Sits amid the cherubim.

3 Say, you holy shepherds, say, Tell your joyful news today. Why have you now left your sheep On the lonely mountain steep?

4 "As we watched at dead of night, Lo, we saw a wondrous light; Angels singing 'Peace on earth' Told us of the Savior's birth."

5 Sacred Infant, all divine, What a tender love was Thine, Thus to come from highest bliss Down to such a world as this.
