1 Oh! Vinde, fiéis, triunfantes, alegres,
Chegai a Belém com humilde louvor;
Ali, contemplai vosso Rei já nascido.
Oh, vinde, adoremos a Cristo, o Senhor!
2 Oh, graça inaudita! O Deus sempiterno,
Do vasto universo o fiel Criador,
Por nós encarnou e nasceu duma virgem!
Oh, vinde, adoremos a Cristo, o Senhor!
3 Os anjos em coro, com santa alegria,
Proclamam, louvando o fiel Criador:
"A Deus glória dai nas maiores alturas!"
Oh, vinde, adoremos a Cristo, o Senhor!
4 Louvemos a Deus por Seu Dom inefável,
Seu Filho Jesus, nosso bom Salvador,
O Qual, sobre a cruz, deu por nós Sua vida.
Oh, vinde, adoremos a Cristo, o Senhor!

Frederic Oakeley graduated M.A. at Oxford, and took Orders in the Church of England. He became Prebendary of Lichfield Cathedral, preacher at Whitehall, and incumbent of Margaret Chapel, London. He was active in the "Oxford Movement," and in 1845, called attention to his views for the purpose of seeing if he could continue to hold an Oxford degree, with so great a change in his opinions. The question was tried, and he was perpetually suspended unless he retracted. He then resigned his positions in the Church of England, and entered the Church of Rome, in which he became a Priest, and Canon of the diocese of Westminster. His publications are numerous, and some of them have considerable value.
