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. | |||

Venite adoremus Dominum; | |||
Venite adoremus Dominum; | |||
Venite adoremus Dominum; | |||
Venite adoremus Dominum; | |||
2. 'Twas Mary maid, so young and strong, | |||
Who welcomed here the Christchild with a song | |||
She laid Him in a stall | |||
At Bethlehem; | |||
The ass and oxen shared | |||
The roof with them. | |||
3. Saint Joseph, too, 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. | |||
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.}} | |||

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;
Venite adoremus Dominum;
Venite adoremus Dominum;
2. 'Twas Mary maid, so young and strong,
Who welcomed here the Christchild with a song
She laid Him in a stall
At Bethlehem;
The ass and oxen shared
The roof with them.
3. Saint Joseph, too, 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.
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.
