Christmas-Songs.Org: Adeste Fidelis
Venite, venite in Bethlehem
Natum videte, regem angelorum
Venite adoremus, venite adoremus
Venite adoremus, dominum.
Cantet nunc io, chorus angelorum
Cantet nunc aula caelestium
Gloria, gloria in excelsis Deo
Venite adoremus, venite adoremus
Venite adoremus, dominum.
Ergo qui natus, die hodierna
Jesu, tibi sit gloria
Patris aeterni, verbum caro factus
Venite adoremus, venite adoremus
Venite adoremus, dominum.
English
Oh come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
Oh come ye, Oh come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him, born the King of Angels
Oh come, let us adore Him Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation
Oh Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God in the highest
Oh come, let us adore Him Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning
Jesus, to Thee be all glory giving
Word of the Father now in flesh appearing
Oh come, let us adore Him Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
