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;
Refrain:
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
2 Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation!
O sing, all ye bright hosts of heaven above;
Glory to God, all
Glory in the highest; (Refrain)
3 Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning,
Jesus, to Thee be all glory given;
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing; (Refrain)
Amen.
