347. Come Hither, Ye Faithful

1 Come hither, ye faithful, triumphantly sing:
Come, see in the manger the angels' great King!
To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord;
O come ye, come hither,
O come ye, come hither,
O come ye, come hither to worship the Lord!

2 True Son of the Father, He comes from the skies;
To be born of a virgin He does not despise;
To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord;
O come ye, come hither,
O come ye, come hither,
O come ye, come hither to worship the Lord!

3 Hark, hark to the angels all singing in heav'n,
To God in the Highest all glory be giv'n.
To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord;
O come ye, come hither, o come ye,come hither,
O come ye, come hither to worship the Lord!

Amen.
