216. Come hither, ye faithful, triumphantly sing

1 Come hither, ye faithful, triumphantly sing:
Come, see in the manger the angels' dread King!
To Bethlehem hasten with joyful accord;
Oh come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord!
Oh come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord!

2 True Son of the Father, He comes from the skies;
To be born of a Virgin He doth not despise;
To Bethlehem hasten with joyful accord;
Oh come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord!
Oh come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord!

3 Hark! hark to the angels, all singing in heaven,
"To God in the highest all glory be given!"
To Bethlehem hasten with joyful accord;
Oh come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord!
Oh come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord!

4 To Thee, then, O Jesus, this day of Thy birth,
Be glory and honor through heaven and earth.
True Godhead Incarnate, omnipotent Word!
Oh come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord!
Oh come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord!

Amen.
Amen.
