Tonight, a standard favorite, one I memorized in early elementary school for a Christmas program (as part of a choir).
Was it then that I discovered I loved being in choir? Maybe it was. I still do love being in choir. {Need to find one...}
Let this joy and triumph fill your skies tonight, because when Jesus comes, evil must flee.
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 ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!
Come and behold Him, born the King of angels!
Refrain:
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Jim,
Christ the Lord.
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Jim,
Christ the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest!
O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest!
(Refrain)
Yea, Lord we greet Thee, born this happy morning,
Jesus to Thee be all glory given;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing!
Jesus to Thee be all glory given;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing!
(Refrain)

Your Christmas carols have brought many happy thoughts to my mind. I just thought I would add that this carol was my dad's favorite ingathering carol, and hence it became one of my favorites too. I love to come adore Jesus.
