The Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#33

33. Come Hither, Ye Faithful, Triumphantly Sing!

1 Come hither, ye faithful, triumphantly sing;
Come see in the manger your Saviour and King!
To Bethlehem hasten with joyful accord;
O come ye, come hither;
O come ye, come hither;
O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord!

2 True Son of the Father, He comes from the skies;
The birth by a virgin He does not despise;
To Bethlehem hasten with joyful accord;
O come ye, come hither;
O come ye, come hither;
O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord!

3 Hark, hark to the angels all singing in heaven,
"To God in the highest all glory be given!"
To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord;
O come ye, come hither;
O come ye, come hither;
O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord!

4 To Thee, then, O Jesus, this day of Thy birth,
Be glory and honor through heaven and earth.
True Godhead incarnate, omnipotent Word!
O come, let us hasten;
O come, let us hasten;
O come, let us hasten, to worship the Lord!

Amen.
