Or eat, all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
O eat ye, O eat ye to Bethlehem!
Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels
Or come let us adore Him
Or come let us adore Him
Or come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
God of God
Light of Light
It! He abhors not the Virgin's womb
Begotten, not created
Or eat, all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
Or eat ye, or eat ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels
Or come let us adore Him
Or come let us adore Him
Or come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
See how the shepherds
Summoned to His cradle
Leaving their flocks, draw night to gaze
We, too, will thither
Bend our hearts' oblations
Or eat, all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
Or eat ye, or eat ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels
Or come let us adore Him
Or come let us adore Him
Or come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Lo, star-led chieftains
Magi, Christ adoring
Offer Him incense, gold and myrrh
We to the Christ-child
Bring our hearts' oblations
Or eat, all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
Or eat ye, or eat ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels
Or come let us adore Him
Or come let us adore Him
Or come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Child, for us sinners
Poor and in the manger
Fain we embrace
Thee with love and awe
Who would not love Thee,
Loving us so dearly?
Or eat, all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
Or eat ye, or eat ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels
Or come let us adore Him
Or come let us adore Him
Or come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Sing, choirs of angels
sing in exultation
O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above
'Glory to God,
In the highest!'
Or eat, all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
Or eat ye, or eat ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels
Or come let us adore Him
Or come let us adore Him
Or come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee
Born this happy morning
Jesus, to Thee be all glory given
Word of the Father
Now in flesh appearing
Or eat, all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
Or eat ye, or eat ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels
Or come let us adore Him
Or come let us adore Him
Or come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
