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.

**

Lo, within a manger lies He who built the starry skies:

He who, throned in height sub-lime, Sits a mid 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 light;

Angels singing "Peace on Earth," Told us of the Savior'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.

**

Teach, O teach us, holy Child, By they face so meek and mild,

Teach us to resemble thee, In thy sweet humility.

**

Hail, thou ever blessed morn! Hail, redemption's happy dawn!

Sing through all Jerusalem, Christ is born in Bethlehem.
