Christmas Song Lyrics Compiled by Charles P. Scott
O Come, All Ye Faithful
Lyrics
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
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
True God of true God
Light from Light Eternal
Lo, he shuns not the Virgin's womb
Son of the Father, begotten, not created
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Sing, choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God, glory in the highest
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
See how the shepherds
Summoned to His cradle
Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze
We too will thither bend our joyful footsteps
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Child, for us sinners
Poor and in the manger
We would embrace Thee, with love and awe
Who would not love Thee, loving us so dearly?
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee
Born this happy morning
Jesus, to Thee be glory given
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
About This Song
"O Come All Ye Faithful, " also known as "Adeste Fideles," is a favorite Christmas hymn that appears to be the result of a collaboration of several people. What we sing is a 19th-century version of a hymn written in the 18th century.
The Latin text comes from the Roman Catholic tradition, found in an 18th-century manuscript in the College at Douai. The college was located in northern France beginning around 1561 and continuing until it was suppressed in 1793. The college was exiled to England at the time of the French Revolution (1789-1799).
