Author: Edward Caswall Appears in 159 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come hither, ye faithful, triumphantly sing;
Come see in the manger the angels' dread King!
To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord;
O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord!
2 True Son of the Father, He comes from the skies;
To be born of a Virgin He doth not despise;
To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord;
O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord!
3 Hark, hark, to the angels, all singing in heaven,
"To God in the highest all glory be given!"
To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord;
O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord!
4 To Thee, then, O Jesus, this day of Thy birth,
Be glory and honor through heaven and earth;
True Godhead incarnate, omnipotent Word!
O come, let us hasten to worship the Lord!
1 Of the Father's love begotten,
Ere the worlds began to be,
He is Alpha and Omega,
He the source, the ending He,
Of the things that are, that have been,
And that future years shall see,
Evermore and evermore.
2 Oh, that birth forever blessed!
When the Virgin, full of grace,
By the Holy Ghost conceiving,
Bare the Saviour of our race,
And the Babe, the world's Redeemer,
First revealed His sacred face
Evermore and evermore.
3 O ye heights of heaven adore Him;
Angel-hosts, His praises sing;
Powers, dominions, bow before Him
And extol our God and King;
Let no tongue on earth be silent,
Every voice in concert ring
Evermore and evermore.
4 Christ, to Thee, with God the Father,
And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee,
Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
And unending praises be,
Honor, glory and dominion,
And eternal victory,
Evermore and evermore.
