521. O Come, All Ye Faithful (Venid, Fieles Todos) (Adeste Fideles)

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 adore him, Christ, the Lord!

2 God of God, Light of Light,
Lo! He comes forth from the Virgin's womb.
Our very God, begotten not created, [Refrain]

3 Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest; [Refrain]

4 Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning,
Jesus, to thee be all glory giv'n;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; [Refrain]

SPANISH -
1 Venid, fieles todos, a Belén marchemos
De gozo triunfantes, y llenos de amor;
Y al Rey de los cielos contemplar podremos;

Refrain:
Venid, adoremos, venid adoremos,
venid, adoremos a Cristo el Señor.

2 Él que es Hijo eterno del eterno Padre,
Y Dios verdadero que al mundo creó,
Al seno virgíneo vino de una madre; [Refrain]

3 Cantad jubilosas, célicas criaturas:
Resuenen los cielos con vuestra canción;
¡Al Dios bondadoso, gloria en las alturas; [Refrain]

4 Jesús, celebramos tu bendito nombre
Con himnos solemnes de grato loor;
Por siglos eternos todo ser te adore; [Refrain]

Venite, venite in Bethlehem.
Natum videte, Regem angelorum.

Refrain:
Venite adoremus,
venite adoremus,
venite adoremus Dominum.

2 Deum de Deo, Lumen de Lumine
Gestant puellae viscera.
Deum verum, Genitum, non factum. [Refrain]

3 Cantet nunc io, chorus angelorum,
Cantet nunc aula caelestium.

Jesu tibi sit gloria.
Patris aeterni verbum caro factum. [Refrain]
