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,
Oh come let us adore Him, oh come let us adore Him,
Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
Sing all ye citizens of Heaven above.
Glory to God in the highest!
Oh come let us adore Him, oh come let us adore Him,
Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
Yea Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning.
Jesus to thee be glory given!
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing,
Oh come let us adore Him, oh come let us adore Him,
Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
