Hymn 480 SEE, AMID THE WINTER SNOW Lyrics

1. See amid, the winter snow,
Born for us on earth below,
See, the Lamb of god appears,
Promised from eternal years.

Chorus:
Hail, thou ever-blessed morns!
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, throned in height sublime
Sits amid the cherubim.

3. Say, ye holy shepherds, say,
What your joyful news today
Wherefore have you 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 Saviour’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.

6. Teach, O teach us, holy Child
By Thy face to seek and mild,
Teach us to resemble Thee
In Thy sweet humility.
