O come, all ye faithful (The Christian Life Hymnal Version)

1 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,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord!

2 God of God,
Light from light eternal,
Lo, he abhors not the Virgin's womb;
very God,
begotten, not created:
Chorus

3 Lo, star-led chieftains,
Magi, Christ adoring,
offer him frankincense and gold and myrrh;
we to the Christ-child
bring our hearts' oblations;
Chorus

4 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?
Chorus

5 Sing, choirs of angels,
sing in exultation,
sing, all ye citizens of heaven above:
Glory to God
all glory in the highest!
Chorus

6 Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be all glory given:
word of the Father,
now in flesh appearing:
Chorus
