Hymnal: Laudis Corona #29 (1880) Lyrics: 1 The snow lay on the ground,
The stars shone bright,
When Christ our Lord was born,
On Christmas night,
When Christ our Lord was born,
On Christmas night.
2 'Twas Mary, daughter pure
Of holy Ann,
That brought into this world
Our God made Man,
That brought into this world
Our God made Man.
3 She laid him in a stall,
At Bethlehem;
The ass and oxen shared
The roof with them.
4 St. Joseph, too, was by,
To tend the Child,
To guard Him, and protect
His Mother mild.
5 The Angels hovered, round,
And sang this song:
Venite adore--
mus Dominum. Languages: English Tune Title: [The snow lay on the ground]

Became a throne;
For He whom Mary bore
Was God the Son.

The heav'nly host,
To praise the Father, Son,
And Holy Ghost. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The snow lay on the ground]
The Snow Lay on the Ground
Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "The Snow Lay on the Ground" in Journeysongs (2nd ed.) In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Arthur Henry Brown
1830 - 1926 Person Name: Arthur H. Brown Composer of "[The snow lay on the ground]" in In Excelsis Gloria Born: July 24, 1830, Brentwood, Essex, England.
Died: February 15, 1926, Brentwood, Essex, England.
Almost completely self taught, Brown began playing the organ at the age 10. He was organist of the Brentwood Parish Church, Essex (1842-53); St. Edward’s, Romford (1853-58); Brentwood Parish Church (1858-88); St. Peter’s Church, South Weald (from 1889); and Sir Anthony Browne’s School (to 1926). A member of the London Gregorian Association, he helped assemble the Service Book for the annual festival in St. Paul’s Cathedral. He supported the Oxford Movement, and pioneered the restoration of plainchant and Gregorian music in Anglican worship.
Brown edited various publications, including the Altar Hymnal. His other works include settings of the Canticles and the Holy Communion Service, a Children’s Festival Service, anthems, songs, part songs, and over 800 hymn tunes and carols.
