The Snow Lay on the Ground Lyrics
1 The snow lay on the ground, the stars shone bright,
When Christ the Lord was born on Christmas night.
Venite, adoremus Dominum,
Venite, adoremus Dominum.
Refrain:
Venite, adoremus Dominum,
Venite, adoremus Dominum.
2 ‘Twas Mary, Virgin pure of holy Anne,
That brought into this world the God made man.
She laid him in a stall at Bethlehem;
The ass and oxen shared the roof with them. [Refrain]
3 Saint Joseph, too was near to tend the child,
To guard him, and protect his mother mild:
The angels hovered round, and sang this song:
Venite, adoremus Dominum. [Refrain]
4 And thus that manger poor became a throne;
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. [Refrain]
