O Come All Ye Faithful
Joyful and triumphant
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem
Oh come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
And He shall reign for ever and ever
And He shall reign for ever and ever
O come on Lord
King of kings
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah
O Sing, choirs of angels
Sing in sing in exultation
Oh sing sing all ye citizens
Of heaven above
Glory to God
His glory in the Highest
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
And He shall reign for ever and ever
And He shall reign for ever and ever
