Lyrics

Adeste, fideles, laeti triumphantes;

venite, venite in Bethlehem.

Natum videte Regem angelorum.

(Chorus)

venite, adoremus,

venite, adoremus,

venite, adoremus Dominum.

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;

(Chorus)

Lo, humble shepherds, hasting to his cradle,

leaving their flocks in the fields, draw near.

We, too, with gladness, thither bend our footsteps;

(Chorus)

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation;

O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!

Glory to God, all glory in the highest;

(Chorus)
