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
