[b]O COME, ALL YE FAITHFUL[/b]
Words: John F. Wade, circa 1743
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;
Refrain
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 shuns not the Virgins womb; Son of the Father, begotten, not created;
Refrain
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation; O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above! Glory to God, all glory in the highest;
Refrain
See how the shepherds, summoned to His cradle, Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze; We too will thither bend our joyful footsteps;
Refrain
Lo! star led chieftains, Magi, Christ adoring, Offer Him incense, gold, and myrrh; We to the Christ Child bring our hearts oblations.
Refrain
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?
Refrain
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning; Jesus, to Thee be glory given; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.
Refrain
