Rieu Andre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

O sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing all that hear in heaven god's holy word
Give to our father glory in the highest;

O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ the lord

All hail! lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning,
O Jesus! for evermore be thy name adored
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "O Come All Ye Faithful" are an invitation to all believers to come and join in the adoration of the newborn Christ. The words carry a message of joy, triumph, and gratitude towards God for the gift of His Son. The opening lines, "O come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant," set the tone for the song, introducing the theme of adoration and the sense of rejoicing that the coming of Christ brings.


The next lines, "O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem, Come and behold him, Born the King of angels," move the focus to the birthplace of Jesus, and the awe-inspiring sight of the newborn King lying in a manger. The repetition of the phrase "O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord," throughout the song reinforces the central message of the lyrics, that the purpose of our gathering is to worship and glorify Christ.


The third verse, "All hail! Lord, we greet thee, Born this happy morning, O Jesus! for evermore be thy name adored, Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing," is a powerful declaration of Christ's divinity, and a recognition of the miracle of God's incarnation. The grandiosity of the verses is reflected in the soaring tune, with its dramatic flourishes and triumphant organ accompaniment.
