English Ave nivis, pure and bright

Drifting through the silent night

Softly covering earth below

In a calm and silver glow

Hear the hush, the frozen air

Gentle whispers everywhere

Time stands still in winter’s grace

Snow has formed a sacred place

Melody E F# G B A G F#

Cold winds sing a qui-et prayer

F# G A C B A G

All the world lies still and fair
