72. 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 eternal,
lo, he abhors not the virgin's womb;
Son of the Father,
begotten, not created; [Refrain]

3 Sing, choirs of angels,
sing in exultation,
sing, all ye bright hosts of heaven above:
"Glory to God,
all glory in the highest!" [Refrain]

4 Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be all glory given;
Word of the Father,
now in flesh appearing; [Refrain]
