Goss: See amid the winter's snow - Jessye Norman, New York Choral Society, American Boy Choir

Hail, thou ever blessed morn

Hail, redemption’s happy dawn

Sing through all Jerusalem

Christ is born in Bethlehem

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 through all 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

Hail, thou ever blessed morn

Hail, redemption’s happy dawn

Sing through all Jerusalem

Christ is born in Bethlehem

Say, ye holy shepherds, say

What your joyful news today

Wherefore have ye left your sheep

On the lonely mountain steep?

Hail, thou ever blessed morn

Hail, redemption’s happy dawn

Sing through all Jerusalem

Christ is born in Bethlehem

As we watched at dead of night

Lo, we saw a wondrous sight

Angels singing, peace on earth

Told us of our Savior’s birth

Hail, thou ever blessed morn

Hail, redemption’s happy dawn

Sing through all Jerusalem

Christ is born in Bethlehem

Sacred infant, all divine

What a tender love was thine

Thus to come from highest bliss

Down to such a world as this

Hail, thou ever blessed morn

Hail, redemption’s happy dawn

Sing through all Jerusalem

Christ is born in Bethlehem

Teach, o teach us, holy child

By Thy face so meek and mild

Teach us to resemble Thee

In Thy sweet humility

Hail, thou ever blessed morn

Hail, redemption’s happy dawn

Sing through all Jerusalem

Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hail, thou ever blessed morn

Hail, redemption’s happy dawn

Sing through all Jerusalem

Christ is born in Bethlehem
