See amid the Winter’s Snow

lyricist: Edward Caswall, 1851
Composer: John Goss, 1871

See amid the win­ter’s snow

Born for us on earth be­low

See

the gen­tle Lamb ap­pears

Promised from eter­nal years.

Hail thou ev­er bless­èd 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!

Say

you ho­ly shep­herds

say

Tell 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 Sav­ior’s birth.

Sacred In­fant

all di­vine

What a ten­der love was Thine;

Thus to come from high­est bliss

Down to such a world as this.

Teach

O teach us

ho­ly Child

By Thy face so meek and mild

Teach us to re­sem­ble Thee

In Thy sweet hu­mil­ity!
