Hasten, Ye Faithful, Glad, Joyful, and Holy

1. Hasten, ye faithful, glad, joyful, and holy, Speed ye to Bethlem to honour the Word; See there the King of angels is born lowly— Oh, come and kneel before him; Oh, come and all adore him; Oh come, oh come, rejoicing to honour the Lord.

2. God of the Godhead, true Light unabated, Mary the Virgin has borne the Adored; True God eternal, begot, uncreated— Oh, come and kneel before him; Oh, come and all adore him; Oh come, oh come, rejoicing to honour the Lord.

3. Sing, all ye angels, till echoes rebounding Swell through your halls, for ever be heard; ‘Glory to God,’ through all heaven resounding— Oh, come and kneel before him; Oh, come and all adore him; Oh come, oh come, rejoicing to honour the Lord.

4. Praise to the Infant, who this day descended; Glory to thee, blessed Jesus adored; Word, in whom two natures join, yet unblended— Oh, come and kneel before him; Oh, come and all adore him; Oh come, oh come, rejoicing to honour the Lord.
