Lyrics O COME, ALL YE FAITHFUL John Francis Wade, an Englishman, wrote both the words (in Latin) and the music to Adeste Fidelis in the latter half of the eighteenth century. However, he never translated them into his native English. This was done by Frederick Oakely a century later. O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant. 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. True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal, Lo, He shuns not The Virgin's womb. Son of the Father, Begotten, not created. O come, let us adore Him. O come, let us adore Him. O come, let us adore Him. Christ, the Lord. Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exhultation; 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. O come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord. See the shepherds, Summoned to His cradle, Leaving their flocks Draw nigh to gaze; We, too, will thither Bend our joyful footsteps. O come, let us adore Him. O come, let us adore Him. O come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord. Child, for us sinners Poor and in the manger, We would embrace Thee With love and awe. Who would not love Thee, Loving us so dearly? O come, let us adore Him. O come, let us adore Him. O come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord. Yea, Lord, we greet thee, Born this happy morning. (Born for our salvation) Jesus, to Thee Be glory given Word of the Father, Now in flesh appearing. O come, let us adore Him. O come, let us adore Him. O come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord.
