<p>O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,<br>
O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem.<br>
Come and behold Him, born the King of angels;</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">O come, let us adore Him,<br>
O come, let us adore Him,<br>
O come, let us adore Him,<br>
Christ the Lord.</p>
<p>True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal,<br>
Lo, He shuns not the Virgin&#8217;s womb;<br>
Son of the Father, begotten, not created;</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation;<br>
O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!<br>
Glory to God, all glory in the highest;</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>See how the shepherds, summoned to His cradle,<br>
Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze;<br>
We too will thither bend our joyful footsteps;</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Lo! star led chieftains, Magi, Christ adoring,<br>
Offer Him incense, gold, and myrrh;<br>
We to the Christ Child bring our hearts&#8217; oblations.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Child, for us sinners poor and in the manger,<br>
We would embrace Thee, with love and awe;<br>
Who would not love Thee, loving us so dearly?</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning;<br>
Jesus, to Thee be glory given;<br>
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
