O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!
Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels!

Light of Light
Lo! He abhors not the Virgin's womb
Very God

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!
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him

See how the shepherds
Summoned to His cradle
Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze!
We, too, will thither
Bend our hearts' oblations

Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels!

Offer Him incense, gold and myrrh

O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!
Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels!
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him

Child, for us sinners
Poor and in the manger
Fain we embrace Thee with love and awe
Who would not love Thee
Loving us so dearly?

O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!
Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels!

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee
Born this happy morning

Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels!
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
