FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS CAROL # 3 - O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL

 

O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL

Words and music attributed to John F. Wade

 

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;

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;

O come let us adore him, O come let us adore him,

O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

 

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation;

O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!

Glory to God, all glory in the highest;

O come let us adore him, O come let us adore him,

O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

 

See how the shepherds, summoned to his cradle,

leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze;

we too will thither bend our joyful footsteps;

O come let us adore him, O come let us adore him,

O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

 

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?

O come let us adore him, O come let us adore him,

O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

 

Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning,

Jesus, to thee be all glory given.

Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing:

O come let us adore him, O come let us adore him,

O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
