O Come, All Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
John Francis Wade · tr. Frederick Oakeley · Irregular with refrain
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;
2.True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal,
Lo, He shuns not the Virgin's womb;
Son of the Father, begotten, not created;
3.Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation;
O sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above!
Glory to God, glory in the highest;
4.See how the shepherds, summoned to His cradle,
Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze;
We too will thither bend our joyful footsteps;
5.Lo! star-led chieftains, Magi, Christ adoring,
Offer Him incense, gold, and myrrh;
We to the Christ Child bring our hearts' oblations.
RefrainO come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
