Hymn
Come Hither, Ye Faithful
Come hither, ye faithful, triumphantly sing:
Come, see in the manger the angels' great King!
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 does not despise;
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!
Hark, hark to the angels all singing in heav'n,
To God in the Highest all glory be giv'n.
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!
Amen.
