1

Hither, ye faithful, haste with songs of triumph,
To Bethlehem haste, the Prince of life to meet;
To you, this day, is born a Prince and Savior:
O come, let us worship at his feet.

2

Jesus, our Savior, for such condescension,
Our praise and our reverence are an offering meet;
Now is the word made flesh, and dwells among us:
O come, let us worship at his feet.

3

Shout his almighty name, ye choirs of angels,
And let the celestial courts his praise repeat;
Give to our Savior glory in the highest:
O come, let us worship at his feet.
