133. O Come, All Ye Faithful

1 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;

Refrain:
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

2 God of God, Light of Light,
Lo! He comes forth from the Virgin's womb:
Our very God, begotten, not created, [Refrain]

3 Sing, choirs of angels; sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above;
Glory to God, all glory in the highest; [Refrain]

4 Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus, to Thee be glory giv'n;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; [Refrain]
