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 sublime,
Sits amid the cherubim:
Hail, thou ever blessed morn, ...

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, ...

'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':
Hail, thou ever blessed morn, ...

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, ...

Teach, O teach us, Holy Child,
By thy face so meek and mild,
Teach us to resemble thee,
In thy meek humility:
Hail, thou ever blessed morn,
Hail, redemption’s happy dawn;
Sing through all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
