On the Nativity
A Translation from the Adeste Fideles
1 Oh, come, all ye faithful, joyful triumph raising,
Oh, come ye to Bethlehem, His praise record:
Behold the Son, the King of angels, praise Him!
Oh, come, let us adore Him; oh, come, let us adore Him;
Oh, come, let us adore Him; Christ our Lord.
2 O Thou light of light, of all things the Creator;
Hail, King of glory, hail, incarnate Word!
Glorious Immanuel, now in mortal nature;
Oh, come, let us adore Him; Christ our Lord.
3 Oh, come, all ye faithful, choirs of heav'n attending;
Jesus is born, by earth and heav'n ador'd:
Glorious Messiah, mighty God, descending;
Oh, come, let us adore Him, Christ our Lord.
4 Oh, shout Hallelujah, praise the Lord of heaven!
On earth be peace, good will to man record:
Glory To God be in the highest given;
Oh, come, let us adore Him, Christ our Lord.
