1. 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 :
R. O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
2. God of God,
Light of light,
Lo, he abhors not
The Virgin’s womb ;
Very God, begotten,
Not created :
3. Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens
Of Heaven above !
Glory to God, glory
In the highest :
4. Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning ;
Jesus, to thee
Be glory given !
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing !
5. See how the shepherds,
Summoned to His cradle,
Leaving their flocks,
Draw nigh to gaze.
We too will thither bend
Our hearts’ oblations ;
6. There shall we see Him,
His eternal Father’s
Everlasting brightness
Now veiled under flesh.
God shall we find there,
A Babe in infant clothing ;
7. Child, for us sinners,
Poor and in the manger,
We would embrace Thee,
With love and awe.
Who would not love Thee,
Loving us so dearly ?
8. Lo! Star-led chieftains,
Magi, Christ adoring,
Offer Him frankincense,
Gold, and myrrh.
We to the Christ-child,
Bring our hearts oblations ;
