O Come, All Ye Faithful
Christmas Carol
O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!
Come and behold him
Born the King of Angels:
(Chorus)
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
God of God,
Light of light,
Lo, he abhors not the Virgin's womb;
Very God,
Begotten, not created:
(Chorus)
Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens
Of Heaven above!
Glory to God in the highest:
(Chorus)
Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be glory given!
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing!
(Chorus)
