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;Refrain: O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.2. Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation; O sing, all ye citizens of heav’n above! Glory to God, all glory in the highest;3. True God of true God, Light of light eternal; Lo! He abhors not the virgin’s womb; Son of the Father, gotten, not created;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.
