SNOW IN THE STREET (Christmas) Lyrics: William Morris - Music: Ralph Vaughan Williams Eileen Farrell/The New Christy Minstrels From far away we come to you, The snow in the street and the wind on the door. To tell of great tidings strange and true. Minstrels and maids stand forth on the floor: (Refrain) From far away we come to you, To tell of great tidings, strange and true. For as we wandered far and wide, The snow in the street and the wind on the door. What hap do you deem there should us betide? Minstrels and maids stand forth on the floor. (Refrain) Under a bent when the night was deep, The snow in the street and the wind on the door. There lay three shepherds tending their sheep. Minstrels and maids stand forth on the floor. (Refrain) “O ye shepherds what have you seen, The snow in the street and the wind on the door. To slay your sorrow and heal your teen?” Minstrels and maids stand forth on the floor. (Refrain) “In an ox-stall this night we saw The snow in the street and the wind on the door. A Babe and a Maid without a flaw. Minstrels and maids stand forth on the floor. (Refrain) “There was an old man there besides; 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. (Refrain) "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. (Refrain) “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. (Refrain) News of a fair and a 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. (Refrain.)
