From far away we come to you

Hymnal: Voices of Praise #341 (1883) Lyrics: 1 From far away we come to you; The snow under foot and the moon in the sky, To tell of great tidings, strange and true, Christian men all, salvation is nigh! Salvation is nigh. 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. 2 Out on a field where the night was deep, The snow under foot &c. There lay three shepherds tending their sheep, Christian men all, salvation is nigh! Salvation is nigh. 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. 3 "O ye shepherds what did you see? The snow under foot, &c. To make you so full of joy and glee?" Christian men all, salvation is nigh! Salvation is nigh. 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. 4 "In an oxstall this night we saw, The snow under foot, &c. A Babe in a manger, laid on straw, Christian men all, salvation is nigh! Salvation is nigh. 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. 5 And as we gazed this sight upon, The snow under foot, &c. The angels called Him, the Holy ONE, Christian men all, salvation is nigh! Salvation is nigh. 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. 6 And a marvellous song we straight heard then, The snow under foot, &c. Of Peace on Earth, Good will towards men," Christian men all, salvation is nigh! Salvation is nigh. 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. 7 New of a fair and marvellous thing! The snow under foot, &c. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, we sing! Christian men all, salvation is nigh! Salvation is nigh. 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.

From Far Away (The Snow in the Street)

Author: William Morris, 1834-1898 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10048 First Line: From far away we come to you Refrain First Line: Minstrels and maids stand forth on the floor Lyrics: 1 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, Chorus: 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. 2 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? [Chorus] 3 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, [Chorus] 4 O ye shepherds, what have ye seen? The snow in the street, and the wind on the door, To stay your sorrow and heal your teen? [Chorus] 5 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: [Chorus] 6 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, [Chorus] 7 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. [Chorus] 8 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. [Chorus] 9 News of a fair and marvelous thing The snow in the street, and the wind on the door, Nowell! Nowell! Nowell! we sing. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [From far away we come to you]
