Hymnary Friends,

As our fall/winter fund drive winds down, please consider a gift today to support the work of Hymnary.org. We're behind where we have been in past years with this drive, and we are hoping to catch up a little between now and January 1, 2019!

Please know that we want to keep Hymnary (the most complete database of North American hymnody on the planet) going for many years to come. Your donations help us do that. Even small amounts help, and they also let us know you're behind us and support what we do.

Click the Donate button below to be taken to a secure giving site. Or you can make your tax-deductible contribution by sending a check to Hymnary.org at 3201 Burton SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49546.

On behalf of the entire Hymnary.org team, our thanks.
Harry Plantinga

Oh Come, all ye Faithful

Representative Text

1 O come, all ye faithful!
Joyfully triumphant,
To Bethlehem hasten now with glad accord;
Lo! in a manger
Lies 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 Raise, raise, choirs of angels,
Songs of loudest triumph,
Thro' heaven's high arches be your praises pour'd:
Now to our God be
Glory in the highest; [Refrain]

3 Amen! Lord, we bless Thee,
Born for our salvation!
O Jesus! for ever be Thy Name ador'd;
Word of the Father,
Late in flesh appearing; [Refrain]
