Verse 1
O come, all ye faith­ful,
Joyful and tri­umph­ant,
O come ye, O come ye,
To Beth­le­hem.
Come and be­hold Him, (Luke 2:15)
Born the King of an­gels; (Heb. 1:6)

Chorus
O come, let us ad­ore Him, (Ps. 95:6, Matt. 2:11)
O come, let us ad­ore Him,
O come, let us ad­ore Him,
Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11)

Verse 2
True God of true God
Light from Light Eter­nal,
Lo, He shuns not
The vir­gin’s womb; (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23)
Son of the Fa­ther,
Begotten, not cre­at­ed; (John 1:18)

Verse 3
Sing, choirs of an­gels,
Sing in ex­ul­ta­tion; (Luke 2:13-14)
O sing, all ye ci­ti­zens
Of Heav­en ab­ove! (Ps. 148:1-2, Phil. 3:20)
Glory to God, all
Glory in the high­est; (Luke 2:14)

Verse 4
See how the shep­herds,
Summoned to His cra­dle,
Leaving their flocks,
Draw nigh to gaze; (Luke 2:7-20)
We too will thi­ther
Bend our joy­ful foot­steps;

Verse 5
Lo! star led chief­tains,
Magi, Christ ador­ing,
Offer Him in­cense,
Gold, and myrrh; (Matt. 2:1-12)
We to the Christ Child
Bring our hearts’ ob­la­tions.

Verse 6
Child, for us sin­ners
Poor and in the man­ger, (Luke 2:7)
We would em­brace Thee,
With love and awe;
Who would not love Thee,
Loving us so dear­ly? (Gal. 2:20, I John 4:19)

Verse 7
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this hap­py morn­ing;
Jesus, to Thee be all glo­ry giv­en; (Phil. 2:9-11)
Word of the Fa­ther,
Now in flesh ap­pear­ing. (John 1:14, I Tim. 3:16)
