38. Come hither, ye faithful, triumphantly sing

1 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 to worship the Lord.

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;
O come ye, come hither,
O come ye, come hither
O 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:
O come ye, come hither,
O come ye, come hither,
O come ye, come hither to worship the Lord.

4 To Thee, then, O Jesus, this day of Thy birth,
Be glory and honor through heaven and earth.
True Godhead incarnate, omnipotent Word!
O come, let us hasten,
O come, let us hasten,
O come, let us hasten to worship the Lord.
