1.	The snow lay on the ground, 
	the stars shone bright, 
	when Christ our Lord was born 
	on Christmas night. 
	Venite adoremus Dominum. 
	Venite adoremus Dominum. 
Refrain: 
	Venite adoremus Dominum. 
	Venite adoremus Dominum. 

2.	'Twas Mary, daughter 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.	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)
