I have a new favorite hymn. Although it was written in 1851, by Edward Caswall, it is new to me. Here it is:
See, amid the Winter's Snow
See, amid the winter's snow,
born for us on earth below,
see the tender Lamb appears,
promised from eternal years.
*Chorus:
Hail, thou everblessed morn!
Hail, redemption's happy dawn!
Sing through all Jesrusalem,
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.
*Chorus
Say, ye holy shephers, say-
what's your joyful news today?
Wherefore have ye left your sheep
on the lonely mountain steep?
*Chorus
"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."
*Chorus
Sacred infant, all divine,
what a tender love was thine,
thus to come from highest bliss
down to such a world as this!
*Chorus
Teach, O teach us, holy child,
by thy face so meek and milk,
teach us to resemble thee,
in thy sweet humility.

Lovely hymn. The harmonies and the high notes that the sopranos hit are just lovely. I'd not seen the words printed and have up to this point only heard it on satellite radio sung by British voices, which are beautiful just hard to understand. Thanks for sharing, Julie. Hope yall had a blessed Christmas.
