78. O Come, All Ye Faithful

1 O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, To Bethlehem hasten now with glad accord; Come and behold him, born the King of angels; After each verse: 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, Thro' heaven's high arches be your praises poured; Now to our God be glory in the highest; [After each verse] 3 Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born for our salvation, Jesus, forever be thy name adored; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; [After each verse] Amen.
