106. 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 Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
O sing, all ye bright hosts of heaven above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest; [Refrain]

3 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]

Amen.
