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! 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! 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? Hail thou ever-blessed morn! Hail redemption's happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem! 'As we watched at dead of night, Lo, we saw a wondrous sight; Angels singing "Peace on earth" Told us of our Saviour's birth.' Hail thou ever-blessed morn! Hail redemption's happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem! 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! Hail redemption's happy dawn! Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem!
