55 Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful
1 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.
Refrain:
Oh, come, let us adore him,
Oh, come, let us adore him,
Oh, come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord.
2 God from true God, and
Light from Light eternal,
Born of a virgin, to earth he comes;
Only begotten
Son of God the Father.
3 Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above;
Glory to God,
All glory in the highest.
4 Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be all glory giv'n.
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing.
