See In Yonder Manger Low
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 all through 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, ye holy shepherds, say:
What your joyful news today?
Wherefore have ye 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."
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.
