Christmas Carols and Hymns ‎#78

78. O Come, All Ye Faithful

1 O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
To Bethlehem hasten now with glad accord;
Come and behold him, born the King of angels;

After each verse:
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,
Thro' heaven's high arches be your praises poured;
Now to our God be glory in the highest; [After each verse]

3 Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born for our salvation,
Jesus, forever be thy name adored;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; [After each verse]

Amen.
