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 God of God, Light of Light,
Lo! he comes forth from the Virgin's womb.
Our very God, begotten, not created; [Refrain]
3 Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest; [Refrain]
4 Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning,
Jesus, to thee be all glory giv'n;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; [Refrain]
LATIN -
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 io, chorus angelorum.
Cantet nunc aula caelestium.
Gloria, gloria, in excelsis Deo. [Refrain]
4 Ergo qui natus Die hodierna,
Jesu tibi sit gloria.
Patris aeterni Verbum caro factum. [Refrain]
