Hymns of the Lutheran Church

195 Come hither, ye faithful, triumphantly sing!

1 Come hither, ye faithful, triumphantly sing! Come, see in the manger the angels' great King! To Bethlehem hasten with joyful accord; O come ye, come hither to worship the Lord! O come ye, come hither to worship the Lord! 2 True Son of the Father, He comes from the skies; To be born of a virgin He does not despise: To Bethlehem hasten with joyful accord; O come ye, come hither to worship the Lord! O come ye, come hither to worship the Lord! 3 Hark! hark to the angels! all singing in heaven, "To God in the highest all glory be given!" To Bethlehem hasten with joyful accord; O come ye, come hither to worship the Lord! O come ye, come hither to worship the Lord! 4 To Thee, then, O Jesus, this day of Thy birth, Be glory and honor through heaven and earth; True Godhead incarnate! omnipotent Word! O come, let us hasten to worship the Lord! O come, let us hasten to worship the Lord!
