Lyrics

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
Oh come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
come and behold him,
born the King of angels;

(Refrain)
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal,
Lo, He shuns not the Virgin's womb;
Son of the Father, begotten, not created;

(Repeat Refrain)

Sing, choirs of angels,
sing in exultation; O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest;

(Repeat Refrain)

See how the shepherds, summoned to His cradle,
Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze;
We too will thither bend our joyful footsteps;

(Repeat Refrain)

Lo! star led chieftains, Magi, Christ adoring,
Offer Him incense, gold, and myrrh;
We to the Christ Child bring our hearts' oblations.

(Repeat Refrain)

Child, for us sinners poor and in the manger,
We would embrace Thee, with love and awe;
Who would not love Thee, loving us so dearly?

(Repeat Refrain)

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus, to Thee be glory given;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.

(Repeat Refrain)

Susan2011-11-17I Love the Gospel Hyms & especially this song since it encourages the faithful to adore him which I do. It's been 44 years that I have done that with all of my heart I praise my Lord & Saviour Jesus.
