O Come, All Ye Faithful
·
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.
O come, let us adore Him;
O come, let us adore Him;
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!
God of God, Light of Light,
Lo, He abhors not the virgin's womb;
Very God, begotten, not created;
O come, let us adore Him;
O come, let us adore Him;
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest;
O come, let us adore Him;
O come, let us adore Him;
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus, to Thee be all glory given;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing;
O come, let us adore Him;
O come, let us adore Him;
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!
