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.  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)

*3. Sing, choirs of angels, 
    Sing in exultation!
    Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
    Glory to God, all
    Glory in the highest!
    (Refrain)
