Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#174

174. 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 and Light of Light begotten,
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, all glory in the highest; [Refrain]

4 Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv'n.
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; [Refrain]
