Gently Falls The Winter Snow Lyrics

1. Gently falls the winter snow,
Earth lies silently below,
While the tender Plant appears,
Promis'd long by holy Seers.

[Chorus:]
Hail the ever blessed morn,
Hail the day that Christ was born;
Tell it thro' Jerusalem,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.

2. He who built the starry skies
Low within a manger lies,
Stooping from His Throne sublime,
High above the cherubim. [Chorus]

3. Say, ye wand'ring Shepherds, say
What your joyful news today;
Wherefore have ye left your sheep?
Wherefore fail your watch to keep? [Chorus]

4. "As we watched at dead of night,
Lo! we saw a wondrous sight, -
Angels singing Peace on Earth,
Telling of the Saviour's Birth." [Chorus]

5. Haste we now to greet God's Child,
Watch His Face so meek and mild;
Learn the Love of Heaven to see
In our Lord's Humility. [Chorus]
