75a. Adeste Fideles

1. Adeste fideles,
laeti, triumphantes;
venite, venite in Bethlehem:
Natum videte regem angelorum:
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus Dominum.

2. En grege relicto,
humiles ad cunas
vocati pastores approperant:
Et nos ovanti gradu festinemus:
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus Dominum.

3. Cantet nunc io!
chorus angelorum;
cantet nunc aula caelestium:
Gloria, gloria in excelsis Deo!
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus Dominum.

4. Ergo qui natus
die hodierna,
Jesu tibi sit gloria:
Patris aeterni Verbum caro factum:
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus Dominum.
