born for us on earth below;
see, the tender Lamb appears,
promised from eternal years.
Refrain:
Hail, thou ever-blessed morn!
Hail, redemption's happy dawn!
Sing through all Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
2 Lo, within a manger lies
He who built the starry skies;
He who, throned in height sublime,
sits amid the cherubim! [Refrain]
3 Say, you holy shepherd, say,
what your joyful news today;
wherefore have you left your sheep
on the lonely mountain steep? [Refrain]
4 "As we watched at dead of night,
lo! we saw a wondrous light;
angels, singing 'Peace on earth'
told us of a Savior's birth." [Refrain]
5 Sacred Infant, all divine,
what a tender love was Thine,
thus to come from highest bliss
down to such a world as this! [Refrain]
