710. O Come, All Ye Faithful

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 God of God, Light of Light,
Lo, he abhors not the Virgin’s womb;
Very God, begotten, not created! [Refrain]

3 Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation;
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above:
Glory to God in the highest! [Refrain]

4 Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be glory given;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing! [Refrain]

Latin:
1 Adeste fideles, laeti, triumphantes,
Veníte, veníte in Bethlehem;
Natum videte Regem angelorun.

Refrain:
Veníte, adoremus, veníte adoremus;
Veníta, adoremus Dóminum.

2 Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine,
Gestant puellae viscera;
Deum verum, genitum, non factum.
