The lyrics of "O Come All Ye Faithful" by Mario Lanza depict the invitation to all faithful people to come to Bethlehem and behold the King of Angels. The opening lines of the verse "Adeste fideles laeti triumphantes" mean "Come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant" and it is accompanied by the call to go to Bethlehem and witness the birth of Jesus Christ, the King of Angels. The chorus of the song repeats the invitation to come and adore Him, stressing the significance of this event.
Throughout the song, the choir of angels sings in exultation, as they accompany the faithful to Bethlehem to the manger where Christ was born. They sing out their joy for Christ's birth and affirm their beliefs, declaring "Glory to God in the highest." This song, therefore, is an uplifting invitation to all Christian worshippers to come together and celebrate the birth of Christ, expressing both their awe and joy at this significant event.

5ft 4in tall. With a voice like an operatic monster. An unbelievable singer amazing voice. Died far too young. A legend. Mario Lanza!

I cannot, for some reason, take to operatic music, but Mario is one of my heroes. He sings beautifully and powerfully.

I know how sentimental you are Bobby, especially at Christmas. Our love of music comes from Dad. Mario Lanza was one of his favorites and I know one of yours. Thanks for sharing this beautiful version of "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" at Christmas time. Love you so much, little brother.

Thanks for putting this here, Bob.
What a glorious voice, different to Pavarotti but, to me, equally as good.
