drop-cap
Whenthe herds were watching
In the midnight chill,
Came a spotless lambkin
From the heavenly hill.
Snow was on the mountains,And the wind was cold,When from God’s own gardenDropped a rose of gold.
Snow was on the mountains,
And the wind was cold,
When from God’s own garden
Dropped a rose of gold.
When ’twas bitter winter,Houseless and forlornIn a star-lit stableChrist the Babe was born.
When ’twas bitter winter,
Houseless and forlorn
In a star-lit stable
Christ the Babe was born.
Welcome, heavenly lambkin,Welcome, golden rose;Alleluia, BabyIn the swaddling clothes!
Welcome, heavenly lambkin,
Welcome, golden rose;
Alleluia, Baby
In the swaddling clothes!
