"In an ox stall this night we saw,"
The snow in the street, and the wind on the door,
"A Babe and a maiden without a flaw:"
Minstrels and maids stand forth on the floor,
Stand forth on the floor,
From far away we come to you,
To tell of great tidings strange and true,
From far away we come to you,
To tell of great tidings strange and true.
"There was an old man there beside,"
The snow in the street, and the wind on the door,
"His hair was white, and his hood was wide,"
Minstrels and maids stand forth on the floor,
Stand forth on the floor,
From far away we come to you,
To tell of great tidings strange and true,
From far away we come to you,
To tell of great tidings strange and true.
"And as we gazed this thing upon,"
The snow in the street, and the wind on the door,
"Those twain knelt down to the little One."
Minstrels and maids stand forth on the floor,
Stand forth on the floor,
From far away we come to you,
To tell of great tidings strange and true,
From far away we come to you,
To tell of great tidings strange and true.
"And a marvelous song we straight did hear,"
The snow in the street, and the wind on the door,
"That slew our sorrow and healed our care."
Minstrels and maids stand forth on the floor,
Stand forth on the floor,
From far away we come to you,
To tell of great tidings strange and true,
From far away we come to you,
To tell of great tidings strange and true.
News of a fair and marvelous thing
The snow in the street, and the wind on the door,
Nowell! Nowell! Nowell! we sing.
Minstrels and maids stand forth on the floor,
Stand forth on the floor,
From far away we come to you,
To tell of great tidings strange and true,
From far away we come to you,
To tell of great tidings strange and true.
