Oh come all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
O come ye, oh 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
Sing choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
Sing all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God all
Glory in the highest
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Ye Lord we greet thee
Born this happy morning
O Jesus to Thee be all glory give'n
Son of the Father
Now in flesh appearing
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
