1.
Ye faithful, with gladness,
Banishing all sadness,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!
See to us given
Christ, the King of Heaven!

Chorus
While angels hover o'er Him,
And shepherds kneel before Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Lord and King.

2.
Dear Mary, His Mother,
Give to us as Brother
The Lord whom the angels are worshipping:
God the eternal,
Light of Light supernal!

3.
Again sounding o'er us,
Let the Angel chorus
The anthem of gladness and triumph sing:
"Glory be given
To the Lord of Heaven!"

4.
Our voices now blending
With their songs unending,
All-joyful, dear Jesus, Thy glory sing.
Be our endeavor
Thus to praise Thee ever!
