O Come All Ye Faithful

 

O come, all ye faithful

Joyfully 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!



The Brightness of glory,

Light of light eternal,

Our lowly nature,

He hath not abhorred;

Son of the Father,

Word of God Incarnate!

O come let us adore Him,

O come let us adore Him,

O come let us adore Him,

Christ the Lord!


O sing choirs of angels,

Sing in exultation!

Through heaven's high arches

 be your praises espoured!

Now to our God be

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!


Amen Lord, we bless Thee,

Born for our salvation,

O Jesus, forever be

 Thy name adored!

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!
