Oh come all ye faithful

Oh come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
Oh come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold him, born the king of angels,

Cho: Oh come let us adore him, oh come let us adore him
Oh come let us adore him, Christ the lord.

Sing, choirs of angels, sing with exultations,
Sing all ye citizens of heav'n above.
Glory to God, in the highest

Yea, lord we great thee, born this happy morning,
Jesus, to thee be glory giv'n
Word of the father, now In flesh appearing

Adeste fideles, laete triumphantes
Venite, venite in Bethlehem.
Natum vide te, Re ge man glorum
Venite a do re mus
Venite adoramus, venite adoramus, dominum.
