Lyrics reprinted with permission from the author:
 
Verse 1:
The angels gathered ‘round on Christmas night
While shepherds marveled at the starlight
The angels gathered ‘round on Christmas night
To celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
 
Chorus:
Venite adoremus, Dominum!
Venite adoremus, Dominum!
 
Verse 2:
With Joseph standing guard on that calm night
And Mary sighing in the twilight
With Joseph standing guard on that calm night
To celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
 
(Chorus)
 
Verse 3:
The kings followed a star which burned so bright
To bring them to the King of peace and light
The kings followed a star which burned so bright
To celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
 
(Chorus)
