Author: Frederick Oakeley, 1802-1880 Hymnal: Common Praise #62 (2000) Meter: Irregular First Line: O come, all ye faithful Lyrics: 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 See how the shepherds,
summoned to his cradle,
leaving their flocks, draw nigh with lowly fear;
we too will thither
bend our joyful footsteps: [Refrain]
*4 Lo! star-led chieftains,
Magi, Christ adoring,
offer him incense, gold, and myrrh;
we to the Christ child
bring out heart's oblations: [Refrain]
5 Child, for us sinners
poor and in the manger,
fain we embrace thee, with awe and love;
who would not love thee,
loving us so dearly? [Refrain]
6 Sing, choirs of angels,
sing in exultation,
sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above;
glory to God in the highest: [Refrain]
7 Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
born this happy morning,
Jesu, to thee be glory giv'n;
Word of the Father,
now in flesh appearing: [Refrain]
