God of God,
Light of Light,
Lo! He abhors not the Virgin's womb:
Very God,
Begotten, not created; 
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ, the Lord 

Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above;
Glory to God
In the highest;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ, the Lord 

See how the shepherds,
Summoned to his cradle,
Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze;
We too will thither
Bend our joyful footsteps;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ, the Lord 


Child, for us sinners
Poor and in the manger,
We would embrace thee, with love and awe;
Who would not live thee,
Loving us so dearly?
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ, the Lord 

Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be glory given;
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ, the Lord
