Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

I woke up in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve with this guitar arrangement in my head and recorded it before dawn. Latin words by John Francis Wade; music likely by John Reading, published in France circa 1751. Wade was an English musician living in Catholic community in France, where he worked as a music teacher and publisher. Translated to English in 1841 by Frederick Oakeley, a British minister who believed that congregations would sing more vigorously if they had fine hymns to sing. [1]

Lyrics

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
Refrain: O come let us adore him (3x) Christ the Lord

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation
sSing o ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God in the highest (refrain)

Ye Lord, we greet Thee born this happy morning
Jesus to Thee be all glory given
Word of the Father now in flesh appearing  (refrain)

Zig – guitar
