The Hymnal ‎#116

116. O come, all ye faithful

1 O come, all ye faithful,
Joyfully 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 The Brightness of glory,
Light of light eternal,
Our lowly nature He hath not abhorred:
Son of the Father,
Word of God Incarnate! [Refrain]

3 O sing choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation!
Through heaven's high arches your praises poured!
Now to our God be
Glory in the highest! [Refrain]

4 Amen Lord, we greet Thee,
Born for our salvation,
O Jesus, forever be Thy Name adored;
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing! [Refrain]

Amen.
