Hymns of the Lutheran Church

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.
