The snow lay on the ground
The star shone bright
When Christ our Lord was born on Christmas night
Venite adoremus Dominum (x4)
Saint Joseph, too, was by
to tend the Child
To guard Him and protect His mother mild
The angels hovered 'round
And sang this song:
Venite adoremus Dominum
Venite adoremus Dominum (x2)
