O Come All Ye Faithful is one of my all-time favorite Christmas carols, and one enjoyed throughout the world. Adeste Fideles, in Latin, is attributed to numerous people, but it first appeared between 1740 and 1743. What is unique about this carol is that it is reminiscent of the Christian statement of faith regarding the incarnation, which declares Jesus is God, light of light, begotten, yet not created; a doctrine Christians hold today. He is the Word made flesh. This carol stands as a summons to all those who hold to the one true faith to come and worship Christ. No one in heaven and earth is more worthy of adoration than our Savior, so today I invite you to respond to Him in this worshipful rendition of Jesus, the Savior of the World.
O Come, All Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful,Joyful and triumphant!
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold himBorn the King of Angels:
Refrain:
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
God of God,
Light of Light,
Lo, he abhors not the Virgin’s womb;
Very God, Begotten, not created:
Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of Heaven above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest
Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be glory given!
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing!
