154. 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 adorehHim, Christ the Lord.

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

3 All hail! Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning;
O Jesus, to thee be all glory given;
Word of the Father
Now in flesh appearing; [Refrain]

Adeste fideles,
Laeti trumphantes;
Veniti, Veniti in Bethlehem:
Natum videte
Regem angelorum:

Refrain:
Venite, adoremus,
Venite, adoremeus,
Venite adoremus Dominum.
