amid the winter's snow, Born for us on earth below, See the tender Lamb appears, Promis'd 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, thron'd in height sublime, Sits amid the cherubim. Hail, &c.

"Say, ye holy shepherds, say What your joyful news to-day? Wherefore have ye left your sheep On the lonely mountain steep?" Hail, &c.

"As we watch'd at dead of night, Lo! we saw a wondrous light; Angels singing, 'Peace on earth,' Told us of the Saviour's birth." Hail, &c.

Sacred Infant! all divine! What a tender love was Thine, Thus to come from highest bliss Down to such a world as this! Hail, &c.
