[274]Adeste Fideles:

Cantus Diversi, J. F. Wade, 1751

Refrain

Latin;

Tr. Frederick Oakeley, 1841

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.

God of God,

Light of Light,

Lo! He abhors not the Virgin's womb;

Very God,

Begotten, not created;

Sing, choirs of angels,

Sing in exultation,

Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above:

Glory to God

In the highest;

Yea, Lord, we greet thee,

Born this happy morning;

Jesus, to thee be glory given;

Word of the Father,

Now in flesh appearing;

Amen.
