Anon. (18th cent.)
Tr. Frederick Oakeley (1802-1880).

Adeste fideles.

Oh come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant, Oh come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem; Come and behold him Born the King of angels; Oh come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
God of God, Light of Light, Lo! he abhors not the Virgin's womb; Very God, Begotten, not created ; Oh come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels. Sing in exultation. Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above: 'Glory to God In the highest'; Oh come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
Yea, Lord, we greet thee, Born this happy morning; Jesus, to thee be glory given, Word of the Father, Now in flesh appearing: Oh come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
