     Oh come, all ye faithful,
    Adoring, triumphant,
Oh joyful, oh joyful, to Bethlehem repair;
    Behold in a manger
    The monarch of angels;
With glad alleluias his glory declare.

    God eternal of God,
    Light eternal of Light,
'Twas thine in thy womb, blessed Maiden, to bear;
    True God uncreated,
    Not made but begotten;
With glad alleluias his glory declare.

    Ye chorus of angels,
    From heaven descending,
Oh haste ye, oh haste ye, our triumph to share;
    Singing, 'Glory to God
    In the highest for ever';
With glad alleluias his glory declare.

    All glory for ever
    To thee, blessed Jesus,
Born to rescue the fallen from woe and despair;
    True Word of the Father,
    Eternal, incarnate;
With glad alleluias his glory declare.
