Christmas carols are integral in capturing the true essence and significance of the season. The original lyrics of the Christmas carol O Come All Ye Faithful was written in the Latin tongue. An English man John Reading in the early 1700's composed the music of the popular Christmas carol. The tune of the song was first published in the year 1751 in a collection called "Cantus Diversi". Given below is the lyric of the carol O Come all ye faithful to color up your yuletide days.

O Come All Ye Faithful
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

O Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing all that hear in heaven God's holy word.
Give to our Father glory in the Highest;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

All Hail! Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning,
O Jesus! for evermore be Thy name adored.
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
