Carol, Europe.
“O Come, All Ye Faithful” (Adeste Fideles in Latin) is one of the most iconic and enduring Christmas carols, celebrated for its powerful melody and heartfelt lyrics that invite worshippers to celebrate the birth of Christ. A small mystery surrounds its origins, as it is commonly attributed to John Francis Wade (1711 – 1786), an English hymnist and music copyist who is believed to have written both the lyrics and melody in Latin. Wade’s version gained widespread popularity through its inclusion in his publications of sacred music.
However, evidence suggests that the carol may predate Wade’s contributions. A manuscript version of the hymn, written in Latin and dating back to 1640, was discovered in a library in Portugal, raising questions about its true origins. This version suggests that the carol may have been part of an older tradition or adapted from earlier ecclesiastical music.
Regardless of its precise authorship, “O Come, All Ye Faithful” has transcended its mysterious beginnings to become a timeless classic, inspiring joy and reverence in Christmas celebrations around the world.

Lyrics (Latin)
1. Adeste fideles læti triumphantes,
Venite, venite in Bethlehem.
Natum videte
Regem angelorum:
Venite adoremus (3x)
Dominum.
2. Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine
Gestant puellæ viscera.
Deum verum, genitum non factum.
Venite adoremus (3x)
Dominum.
3. Cantet nunc ‘Io’, chorus angelorum;
Cantet nunc aula cælestium,
Gloria! Soli Deo Gloria!
Venite adoremus (3x)
Dominum.
4. Ergo qui natus die hodierna.
Jesu, tibi sit gloria,
Patris aeterni Verbum caro factum.
Venite adoremus (3x)
Dominum.
Lyrics (English)
1. 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, (3x)
Christ the Lord.
2. O Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of Heaven above.
Glory to God in the highest.
O come, let us adore Him, (3x)
Christ the Lord.
3. O Hail, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning.
Jesus, to thee be glory given.
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.
O come, let us adore Him, (3x)
Christ the Lord.
