Lyrics

Two sets of Lyrics from The Church Hymnal: A Book of Hymns Adapted to the Use of the Church of England and Ireland, 1868 (p. 21-23)

1. Approach, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant;
O come ye—O come ye to Bethlehem;
Hail ye the New-born,
King and Lord of angels.
O come ye, and adore Him!
O come ye, and adore Him!
O come, all ye faithful, and worship the Lord!

2. True God of True God!
True Light of True Light!
Ye born of a Virgin, made very Man!
Very God also,
Not made, but begotten!
O come ye, and adore Him!
O come ye, and adore Him!
O come, all ye faithful, and worship the Lord!

3. O, sing, Alleluia,
Bright chorus of angels!
O fill ye the courts of heaven with song!
Sing ye, "All glory
To God in the Highest."
O come ye, and adore Him!
O come ye, and adore Him!
O come, all ye faithful, and worship the Lord!
Amen!

Or

1. O come, all ye faithful,
Joyfully 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.

2. God of God,
Light of Light,
Lo, He abhors not the Virgin's womb;
Very God,
Begotten, not created;
O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

3. Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye powers of heaven above,
To God in the highest
Be glory, be glory;
O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

4. Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesu, to Thee be glory given;
Word of the Father,
Late in Flesh appearing;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
Amen.
