Church Hymnary (4th ed.) ‎#307

307. Adeste, fideles

1 Adeste, fideles,
laeti, triumphantes,
venite, venite in Bethlehem;
natum videte
regem angelorum:
[Refrain:]
venite, adoremus,
venite, adoremus,
venite, adoremus Dominum.

2 Deum de Deo,
Lumen de Lumine,
gestant puellae viscera,
Deum verum,
genitum, non factum: [Refrain]

3. Cantet nunc hymnos
chorus angelorum;
cantet nunc aula caelestium:
gloria
in excelsis Deo! [Refrain]

4 Ergo qui natus
die hodierna,
Jesu, tibi sit gloria:
Patris aeterni
verbum caro factum: [Refrain]
