See Amid the Winter's Snow - piano

Words by Edward Caswall, 1851
Music by Matt Foreman, copyright 2011

See amid the winter's snow,
Born for us on earth below,
See, the gentle Lamb appears,
Promised from eternal years.

Lo, within a manger lies
He who built the starry skies;
He who, throned in height sublime,
Sits amid the cherubim.

Refrain
Hail thou ever blessed morn!
Hail redemption's happy dawn,
Sing through all Jerusalem:
Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Say, you holy shepherds, say--
What's 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 Savior's birth."

Refrain

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

Refrain

Teach, O teach us, holy Child,
By Thy face so meek and mild,
Teach us to resemble Thee,
In Thy sweet humility.

Refrain
