O come, all ye faithful,
Joyfully triumphant,
To Bethlehem hasten now with glad accord:
Lo! In a manger
Lies the King of angels
O come, let us adore him. Christ the Lord.

Though true God of true God,
Light of Light eternal.
The womb of a virgin he hath not abhorred:
Son of the Father,
No made, but begotten;
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

Raise, raise, choirs of angels,
Songs of loudest triumph.
Through heaven's high arches be your praises poured:
Now to our God be
Glory in the highest;
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

Amen, Lord, we bless thee,
Born for our salvation,
O Jesu, for ever be thy name adored:
Word of the Father,
Late in flesh appearing:
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
