199. 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!

Chorus:
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![Chorus]

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![Chorus]
