Return to Eight-Bell Christmas

See, Amid the Winter’s Snow (HUMILITY) – Eight handbells

See, Amid the Winter’s Snow is a beautiful English carol, music composed by Sir John Goss.

See amid the winter’s snow,
Born for us on earth below,
See, the gentle Lamb appears,
Promised from eternal years.

Hail that ever blessed morn,
Hail redemption’s happy dawn,
Sing through all Jerusalem:
Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Say, you holy shepherds, say,
Tell your joyful news today.
Why have you now left your sheep
On the lonely mountain steep?

As we watched at dead of night,
There appeared a wondrous light;
Angels singing “Peace on earth”
Told us of the Savior’s birth.

Edward Caswall, 1858
