This Is the Winter Morn

lyricist: Osgood Fuller, 1885
Composer: Arranged by L. H. Thomas

This is the win­ter morn

Our Sav­ior

Christ

was born

Who left the realms of end­less day

To take our sins away.

Have ye no car­ol for the Lord

To spread His love

His love abroad?

Have ye no car­ol for the Lord

To spread His love

His love abroad?

Hosanna! from all our hearts we raise

Hosanna! Ho­san­na!

And make our lives His praise.

Ring

ring

O hap­py bells!

A bless­èd an­gel tells

The sto­ry of His hum­ble birth

Who came this day to earth.

Have ye no car­ol for the Lord

To spread His love

His love abroad?

Have ye no car­ol for the Lord

To spread His love

His love abroad?

Hosanna! from all our hearts we pour

Hosanna! Ho­san­na!

And bless Him ev­er­more.

The shep­herds vi­gil keep

And watch by night their sheep;

Upon the plains of Beth­le­hem

What glo­ry comes to them!

Have ye from Heav’n no glo­ry felt

Who all

who all in pray­er have knelt?

Have ye from Heav’n no glo­ry felt

Who all

who all in pray­er have knelt?

Hosanna! in all our hearts is light

Hosanna! Ho­san­na!

God’s wor­ship is delight.

All in the low­ly place

They find the roy­al grace

And lo! they fall a-wor­ship­ing

Before the new­born King.

Have ye no wor­ship for the Lord

To give

to give with one ac­cord?

Have ye no wor­ship for the Lord

To give

to give with one ac­cord?

Hosanna! in all our hearts we bring

Hosanna! Ho­san­na!

Our lives our of­fer­ing.

Their grate­ful hearts are full

Of things most beau­ti­ful;

And lo! the won­der of the Lord

They straight­way spread abroad.

Have ye no beau­ty of the Christ

Whose love

whose love has long suf­ficed?

Have ye no beau­ty of the Christ

Whose love

whose love has long suf­ficed?

Hosanna! from all our hearts we raise

Hosanna! Ho­san­na!

And car­ry hence His praise.
