1.Adéste fidéles, laéti, triumphántes,
Veníte, veníte in Béthlehem.
Natum vidéte, Regem angelórum.
Veníte adorémus,
veníte adorémus,
veníte adorémus Dóminum.

2.Deum de Deo, Lumen de Lúmine
Gestant puéllae víscera.
Deum verum, Génitum, non factum.
Veníte adorémus...

3.Cantet nunc io, chorus angelorum,
Cantet nunc aula caeléstium.
Glória, glória, in excélsis Deo.
Veníte adorémus...

4.Ergo qui natus Die hodiérna,
Jesu tibi sit glória.
Patris aeternae verbum caro factum.
Veníte adorémus...

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 of Light,
Lo! He comes forth from the Virgin's womb.
Our very God, begotten not created,
O come, let us adore him...

3.Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest;
O come, let us adore him...

4.Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning,
Jesus, to thee be all glory giv'n;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing;
O come, let us adore him...

[caddyorganist]

Nicely done!

[Diapason16ft]

Mic location is PERFECT! This is what you would hear if you were standing where the camera is--assuming the mics are on the camera. At 2:30 was that trumpet chord on purpose? Did the same thing two Christmasses ago but not on purpose. :^) Effective!

[CriticalListener]

This is one of my favorite arrangements of this carol, and the choir seems to be wonderful. My quibble is with the positioning of the microphone so that we can barely hear the choir. The organ's wonderful too, of course, but the sound is unfortunately out of balance by the mic's position.

[holyholyholyorgankid]

Simply, Beauitful! Very well done.
