101. Adeste Fideles

1 Adeste fideles,
Læti, triumphantes,
Venite, venite in Bethlehem:
Natum videte
Regem angelorum:
Venite, adoremus, venite, adoremus,
Venite, adoremus Dominum.

2 Cantet nunc io
Chorus angelorum,
Cantet nunc aula caelestium:
Gloria in
Excelsis Deo:
Venite, adoremus, venite, adoremus,
Venite, adoremus Dominum.

3 Ergo qui natus
Die hodierna,
Jesu, tibi sit gloria:
Patris aeterni
Verbum caro factum:
Venite, adoremus, venite, adoremus,
Venite, adoremus Dominum.
