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
O Come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee
Born this happy morning
Jesus, to Thee be glory given
Word of the Father
Now in flesh appearing

O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O Come, let us adore Him

Christ the Lord
