Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethelehem;
Come and behold him,
Born the King of angels:
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord!
Adeste fideles,

venite, venite in Bethlehem;
natum videte regem angelorum.

God of God,
Light of Light,
Lo, he abhors not the Virgin's womb;
Very God,

gestant puellae viscera,
Deum verum, genitum non factum.
venite, adoremus Dominum.

See how 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, etc.

humiles ad cunas,
vocati pastores appropiant.
et nos ovanti gradu festinemus,
venite, adoremus Dominum.

Lo, star-led chieftains,
Magi, Christ adoring,
Offer him incense, gold, and myrrh;
We to the Christ-child
Bring our hearts' oblations:
O come, let us, etc.

Child, for us sinners
Poor and in the manger,
Fain we embrace thee with love and awe;
Who would not love thee,
Loving us so dearly?
O come, let us, etc.

et foeno cubantem
piis foveamus amplexibus;
sic nos amantem quis non redamaret?

Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above:
'Glory to God
In the highest:'
O come, let us, etc.

cantet nunc aula caelestium,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
venite, adoremus Dominum.

Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesu, to thee be glory given:
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing:
O come, let us, etc.
ergo qui natus
die hodierna.
Jesu, tibi sit gloria,
Patris aeterni Verbum caro factum.
Venite, adoremus Dominum.
