O Come, All Ye Faithful

Music by John F. Wade's Cantus Diversi, words by Latin hymn; tr. Frederick Oakley


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.

Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation!
O sing, all ye bright hosts 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 given;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing;
