Lyrics
The snow lay on the ground, The stars shone bright,
When Christ our Lord was born on Christmas night.
Venite Adoremus Dominum.
Mary, virgin pure of holy Anne,
That brought into the world The God made man
She laid him in a stall At Bethlehem;
The ass and oxen shared The Roof with them.
Venite Adoremus Dominum.
Saint Joseph, to, was by To tend the child;
To guard him and protect His mother mild;
The angels hovered round and sung this song.
Venite Adoremus Dominum.
Venite Adoremus Dominum.
And thus that manger poor Became a thone;
For he whom Mary bore Was God the Son.
O come, then, let us join The heavenly host
To praise the Father, Son, And Holy Ghost.
