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, ye holy shepherds, say, 
What's your joyful news today; 
Wherefore have ye 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 the Saviour'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] 
6 Teach, O teach us, holy Child, 
By thy face so meek and mild, 
Teach us to resemble thee, 
In thy sweet humility. [Refrain] 
7 Virgin mother, Mary blest,
By the joys that fill thy breast,
Pray for us, that we may prove
Worthy of the Savior's love. [Refrain] Topics: The Christian Year Christmas and Epiphany; Christmas Day; Christmas 2 Languages: English Tune Title: HUMILITY (OXFORD)
