Come hither ye faithful

Come hither, ye faithful,
Triumphantly sing!
Come, see in the manger,
The angels’ dread king!

Refrain

To Bethlehem hasten with joyful accord!
O come ye, come hither, O come ye, come hither,
O come ye, come hither to worship the Lord.

True Son of the Father,
He comes from the skies;
To be born of a virgin
He doth not despise.

Refrain

Hark! hark! to the angels!
All singing in heav’n,
“to God in the highest
All glory be given!”

Refrain

To Thee, then, O jesu, this day of thy birth,
Be glory and honor through heaven and earth
True godhead incarnate! omnipotent word!
O come let us hasten, O come let us hasten,
O come let us hasten, to worship the Lord!
