O Come, All Ye Faithful

Words by Wade's Cantus Diversi (Latin); Frederick Oakeley (English)


O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!
Come and behold Him, born the King of angels!

Chorus:
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!

True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal,
lo, He abhors not the virgin's womb;
Son of the Father: Begotten, not created.

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
O sing, all ye citizens of Heaven above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest!

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning,
Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv'n;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing!
