When the 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 garden
Dropped a rose of gold.

When 'twas bitter winter,
Homeless and forlorn
In a star-lit stable
Christ the Babe was born.

Welcome, heavenly lambkin;
Welcome, golden rose;
Alleluia, baby
In the swaddling clothes!

Something like:-
In the deep midwinter tired and forlorn
In a lonely stable a little child was born
Snow lay on the mountain. And the wind was cold
When from Gods own garden. Dropped a rose of gold.

Can anyone help me with this section of a hymn.
