Christ My Song - 1418
Come hither, ye faithful
(Edward Caswall/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Come hither, ye faithful.
1. Come hither, ye faithful;
triumphantly sing;
come, see in the manger
our Saviour and King!
To Bethlehem hasten,
with joyful accord!
Oh, come ye, come hither,
to worship the Lord! PDF - Midi
2. True Son of the Father,
he comes from the skies;
to be born of a Virgin
he doth not despise.
To Bethlehem hasten,
with joyful accord!
Oh, come ye, come hither,
to worship the Lord!
3. Hark, hark to the angels!
all singing in heaven:
"To God in the highest
all glory be given!"
To Bethlehem hasten,
with joyful accord!
Oh, come ye, come hither,
to worship the Lord!
4. To thee, then, O Jesus!
this day of thy birth,
be glory and honour
through heaven and earth!
True Godhead Incarnate!
Omnipotent Word!
Oh, come, let us hasten
to worship the Lord!
