Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning;
To Thee, O Jesus, be glory given;
True Word of the Father,
In our flesh appearing.
— Canon Oakeley's translation.
Another Version of the Adeste Fideles
OH, come! all ye faithful!
Triumphantly sing!
Come, and see in the manger
The angels' dread King!
To Bethlehem hasten!
With joyful accord;
Oh, hasten! oh, hasten!
To worship the Lord.
True Son of the Father!
He comes from the skies;
The womb of the Virgin
He doth not despise;
To Bethlehem hasten, etc.
Not made but begotten,
The Lord of all might,
True God of true God,
True Light of true Light;
To Bethlehem hasten, etc.
Hark! to the angels!
All singing in heaven
"To God in the highest
High glory be given."
To Bethlehem hasten, etc,
To Thee, then, O Jesu!
This day of Thy birth,
Be glory and honor
Through heaven and earth.
