Adeste, fideles…


Do the Latin words in the post title immediately bring to mind the English name of today’s song?

When thinking about a song using the key word for this week – Faithfulness – this hymn quickly comes to mind with its familiar chorus…

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, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

The United Methodist (UMC) webpage HERE tells of a lengthy collaboration on this song across several decades. Talk about being faiithful to the story!  That website also describes the ways we sing and/or experience this song in each verse. Fabulous information – thanks UMC!

Ready to listen to the song? One version is HERE.

O come, all ye faithful – – enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
