What Though The Snow Be On The Hill Lyrics

1. What though the snow be on the hill
And winter in the weather,
With love and hope and sweet goodwill
We keep the feast together:
Let heart with heart in joy accord
On this, the birthday of the Lord.

2. The Christ, our Lord, was once a Child:
They laid Him in a manger.
The poor, the sick, the sin-defiled,
The prisoner, and the stranger,
Plead with us for the love of Christ
To give what He has sacrificed.

3. O God! At this Thy Christmas-tide
Lay Thy dear hand upon us,
And if we wander from Thy side,
Look Thou in pity on us;
Even in the darkness of the night
Let us behold Thy guiding light!
