Adeste, fideles,
laeti triumphantes;
venite, venite in Bethlehem.
Natum videte
Regem angelorum.

Venite adoremus,
venite adoremus,
venite adoremus,
Dominum.

O come, all you faithful,
joyful and triumphant,
O come now,
O come now to Bethlehem.
Come and behold
the ruler of all angels:

O come in adoration,
O come in adoration,
O come in adoration: Christ is Lord!

God of true God
Light of true Light
born of the Virgin's womb
in human form;
Truly our God,
begotten, not created:

O come in adoration,
O come in adoration,
O come in adoration: Christ is Lord!

Sing, choirs of angels,
sing in exultation,
sing, all you messengers
of heavenly love:
"Glory to God,
all glory in the highest":

O come in adoration,
O come in adoration,
O come in adoration: Christ is Lord!

Amen, Lord, we greet you,
born this happy morning;
Jesus to you
shall all glory be given;
Word of our God
now in flesh appearing:

O come in adoration,
O come in adoration,
O come in adoration: Christ is Lord!
