486. 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 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!
O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, all
glory in the highest! [Refrain]

4 Amen, Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning,
O Jesus, to thee be all glory given;
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing! [Refrain]

Amen.
