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