'"Saying, Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star in the East, and are come to worship Him."' ~ MICAH 5:2 (NKJV) 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, CHRIST the LORD. http://youtu.be/XHVXHTsQOis O Come All Ye Faithful The text to the Carol O Come All Ye Faithful was originally written in Latin (Adeste Fideles) and was intended to be a hymn, it is attributed to John Wade, an Englishman. The music to O Come All Ye Faithful was composed by fellow Englishman John Reading in the early 1700s. The tune was first published in a collection known as "Cantus Diversi" in 1751. In 1841 Rev. Frederick Oakley is reputed to have worked on the familiar translation of O Come All Ye Faithful which replaced the older Latin lyrics.
