Talk:O Come All Ye Faithful

License
The Wikipedia entry for this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adeste_Fideles) identifies that the Latin lyrics are 18th century and the English are 19th century ... well within the US's pre-1923 rule. The author & translator died over 100 years ago, so EU Life+70 copyrights are also expired. Wouldn't that information be more informative than the canned-copyright-text that starts this article? —unsigned by 24.5.223.141 04:24, 25 December 2004.

Latin Lyrics
These were the Latin Lyrics I found. Not knowing Latin myself, I'm hesitant to replace what is already on the page.


 * Adeste, fideles, laeti triumphantes;
 * Venite, venite in Bethlehem.
 * Natum videte Regem angelorum.


 * Chorus:
 * Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
 * Venite adoremus, Dominum.


 * Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine,
 * Parturit virgo mater,
 * Deum verum, genitum, non factum.


 * Chorus


 * En grege relicto, humiles ad cunas
 * Vocati pastores approperant:
 * Et nos ovanti gradu festinemus.


 * Chorus


 * Stella duce, Magi Christum adorantes,
 * Aurum, thus, et myrrham dant munera.
 * Jesu infanti corda praebeamus.


 * Chorus


 * Aeterni Parrentis splendorem aeternum
 * Velatum sub carne videbimus,
 * Deum infantem, pannis involutem.


 * Chorus


 * Pro nobis egenum et foeno cubantem
 * Piis foveamus amplexibus;
 * Sic nos amantem quis non redamaret?


 * Chorus

Oakley, W.T. Brooke, et al. Translation
This is a popular translation that had been displayed on this page before I made this a disambiguation. I intended to immediately proofread the closet version I could find at the current redlink, and to that purpose have uploaded Index:The English hymnal (1906).djvu. However there are some duplicate pages that need to be fixed in the source file before I can proceed any further. It is Hymn 614 in that book.--Birgitte SB  22:02, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
