Trinity Hymnal ‎#151

151. O come, all ye faithful

1 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 God of God,
Light of Light;
Lo, he abhors not the Virgin's womb:
Very God,
Begotten, not created; [Refrain]

3 Sing, choirs of angels;
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above;
Glory to God
In the highest; [Refrain]

4 Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning:
Jesus, to thee be glory given;
Word of the Father,
Late in flesh appearing; [Refrain]

Amen.
