Name That Christmas Tune, day 14

[lumineaux]

Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation;
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, In the highest

Well that was quick - a quorum of correct answers in about 3 minutes. Today's song is: O Come All Ye Faithful, or, in Latin, Adeste Fideles

is it cheating because I just sang this 2x this weekend? :)

"O Come All Ye Faithful"

(this is the verse with the really really cool Soprano Line, too :D:D:D:D)

"Oh Come, All Ye Faithful."

One of my favorites!

When I was a kid, my mom taught it to me in Latin first.

Awesome. I'd love to know the Latin for that one.

These are the original verses written by Francis Wade c. 1743. Some versions have later-added verses.

Adeste Fideles laeti triumphantes,
Veníte, veníte in Bethlehem.
Natum vidéte, Regem Angelorum:

Veníte adoremus,
Veníte adoremus
Veníte adoremus Dóminum

Deum de Deo, lumen de lúmine,
gestant puellae viscera
Deum verum, genitum non factum:

Veníte adoremus,
Veníte adoremus
Veníte adoremus Dóminum

Cantet nunc io chorus Angelórum
cantet nunc aula caelestium:
Gloria in excelsis Deo:

Veníte adoremus,
Veníte adoremus
Veníte adoremus Dóminum

Ergo qui natus, die hodierna
Jesu, tibi sit glória
Patris aeterni Verbum caro factum:

Veníte adoremus,
Veníte adoremus
Veníte adoremus Dóminum

Naomi says I should post in her place, because she doesn't know any of them; so consider this her surrogate: Adeste Fidelis

Latin version FTW.

Paul yelled at me for singing along to this in Latin on the Disney trams, but I couldn't help myself.
