O come all ye faithful

"O come all ye faithful" is a well known Christmas carol.

King's College Cambridge 2008 #17 O Come, All Ye Faithful arr. Stephen Cleobury

Words

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;

Chorus

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;

(chorus)

See how the shepherds,

Summoned to His cradle,

Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze;

We too will thither

Bend our joyful footsteps;

(chorus)

Lo! star-led chieftains,

Magi, Christ adoring,

Offer Him incense, gold, and myrrh;

We to the Christ Child

Bring our hearts' oblations.

(chorus)

Child, for us sinners

Poor and in the manger,

We would embrace Thee, with love and awe;

Who would not love Thee,

Loving us so dearly?

(chorus)

There shall we see Him,

His Eternal Father's

Everlasting Brightness now veiled under flesh;

We find there,

A Babe in infant clothing;

(chorus)

Sing, choirs of angels,

Sing in exultation;

Sing all ye citizens of heaven above!

Glory to God

In the highest;

(chorus)

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,

Born this happy morning;

Jesus, to Thee be glory given;

Word of the Father,

Now in flesh appearing.

(chorus)
