Lyrics

See amid the winter's snow
Born for us on earth below
See the tender lamb appears,
Promised from eternal years.
Lo! within a manger lies
He who built the starry skies,
Hail, thou ever-blessed morn,
Hail! redemption's happy dawn.
Sing through all Jerusalem:
A babe is born in Bethlehem!

Say, ye holy shepherds, say:
What your joyful news today?
Wherefore have you left your sheep,
On the lonely mountain steep?
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.
Sing through all Jerusalem:
A babe is bon in Bethlehem.
