Be present, ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
And hasten, and hasten, to Bethlehem;
See in a manger the Monarch of Angels:
O come and let us worship, O come and let us worship,
O come and let us worship the Lord with them!
God of God eternal, Light from Light proceeding,
He deigns in the Virgin's womb to lie:
Very God of Very God, begotten, not created;
O come and let us worship, O come and let us worship,
O come and let us worship the Lord on high!
Sing Alleluia, Chorus of Angels,
Sing, Heavenly Citizens, joyously:
Glory to God in the highest, glory;--
O come and let us worship, O come and let us worship,
O come and let us worship the Lord on high!
To Thee, Who wast born on Christmas Day of Mary,
O Jesu, be praise eternally:
Word of th' Eternal Father, now Incarnate:
O come and let us worship, O come and let us worship,
O come and let us worship the Lord on high!
