O Come All Ye Faithful
|
DEUTSCH F. H. Ranke, from Adeste Fideles by John Francis Wade 1. Herbei, o ihr Gläubigen, Fröhlich triumphiernd, O kommet, o kommet nach Bethlehem! Sehet das Kindlein, Uns zum Heil geboren! O lasset uns anbeten, O lasset uns anbeten, O lasset uns anbeten, Den König! Note: Verse 2 often omitted in English versions. 2. König der Ehren, Herrscher der Heerscharen, Du ruhst in der Krippe im Erdenthal. Gott, wahrer Gott, Von Ewigkeit geboren! O lasset uns anbeten, O lasset uns... 3. Kommt, singet dem Herren, O ihr Engelchöre, Frohlocket, frohlocket, ihr Seligen! Ehre sei Gott im Himmel Und auf Erden. O lasset uns anbeten, O lasset uns... 4. Dir, der du heute Bist für uns geboren Jesu sei Ehre und Ruhm und Dank! Wort des ew'gen Vaters, Fleisch für uns geworden! O lasset uns anbeten, O lasset uns... |

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! Note: Verse 2 often omitted in English versions. 2. God from God, Light from Light eternal, Lo! He abhors not the Virgin's womb! Only-begotten Son of the Father. O come let us adore him, O come let us... 3. Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation, O sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above! Glory to God, Glory in the highest! O come let us adore him, O come let us... 4. Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, Born this happy morning, Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv'n! Word of the Father, Now in the flesh appearing! O come let us adore him, O come let us... |
