219. See in Yonder Manger Low

1 See in yonder manger low,
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 Sacred Infant, all divine,
what a tender love was thine,
thus to come from highest bliss
down to such a world as this. (Refrain)

4 Teach, O teach us, holy Child,
by thy face so meek and mild;
teach us to resemble thee
in thy sweet humility. (Refrain)
