O Come, All Ye Faithful

Adeste Fideles

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphantAdeste fideles læti triumphantes
Come ye, come ye to BethlehemVenite, venite in Bethlehem
See the newborn King of angelsNatum videte Regem angelorum
O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore HimVenite adoremus, venite adoremus
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the LordVenite adoremus Dominum

Lo, we abandon the flock, humble to the cradleEn, grege relicto, humiles ad cunas
The called shepherds hastenVocati pastores adproperant
And we, with joyful step, hurryEt nos ovanti gradu festinemus

The eternal splendor of the eternal FatherÆterni Parentis splendorem æternum
Veiled under flesh, we shall seeVelatum sub carne videbimus
God, the infant wrapped in swaddling clothesDeum infantem pannis involutum

For us, needy and lying on hayPro nobis egenum et fœno cubantem
Let us cherish with pious embracesPiis foveamus amplexibus
Thus loving us, who would not love Him back?Sic nos amantem quis non redamaret?
