| HASTEN, ye faithful, glad, joyful, and holy, | |
| Speed ye to Bethlem to honour the Word; | |
| See there the King of angels is born lowly— | |
| Oh, come and kneel before him; | |
| Oh, come and all adore him; | 5 |
| Oh come, oh come, rejoicing to honour the Lord. | |
| |
| God of the Godhead, true Light unabated, | |
| Mary the Virgin has borne the Adored; | |
| True God eternal, begot, uncreated— | |
| Oh, come and kneel before him; | 10 |
| Oh, come and all adore him; | |
| Oh come, oh come, rejoicing to honour the Lord. | |
| |
| Sing, all ye angels, till echoes rebounding | |
| Swell through your halls, for ever be heard; | |
| ‘Glory to God,’ through all heaven resounding— | 15 |
| Oh, come and kneel before him; | |
| Oh, come and all adore him; | |
| Oh come, oh come, rejoicing to honour the Lord. | |
| |
| Praise to the Infant, who this day descended; | |
| Glory to thee, blessed Jesus adored; | 20 |
| Word, in whom two natures join, yet unblended— | |
| Oh, come and kneel before him; | |
| Oh, come and all adore him; | |
| Oh come, oh come, rejoicing to honour the Lord. | |
