O come all ye faithful
attributed to various authors
Adeste fideles læti triumphantes, Venite, venite in Bethlehem. Natum videte Regem angelorum: Venite adoremus (3×) Dominum.
Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine
Cantet nunc io, chorus angelorum;
Ergo qui natus die hodierna.

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant! O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; Come and behold him Born the King of Angels: O come, let us adore Him, (3×) Christ the Lord.
God of God, light of light,
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning;
