O Come, All ye Faithful

by WILLIAM MERCER1811-73

O come, all ye faithful,
Joyfully triumphant,
To Bethlehem hasten now with glad accord,
Lo! In a manger
Lies the king of angels
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
Though true God of true God.
Light of light eternal,
The womb of a virgin He hath not abhorred:
Son of the father.
Not made, but begotten;
O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
Raise, raise, Choirs of angels
Songs of loudest truimph,
Through heaven's high arches be
Your praises poured
'Now to our God be
Glory in the highest.
O come let us adore Him. Christ the Lord.
Amen! Lord we bless thee,
Born for our salvation 1
O Jesus, for ever be thy Name adored
Word of the father,
Now in flesh appearing;
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
