(testo originale in latino)
Adeste fideles læti triumphantes,
venite, venite in Bethlehem.
Natum videte Regem angelorum.
Venite adoremus (3x)
Dominum. 

En grege relicto humiles ad cunas,
vocati pastores adproperant,
et nos ovanti gradu festinemus.
Venite adoremus (ter)
Dominum.

Æterni Parentis splendorem æternum,
velatum sub carne videbimus,
Deum infantem pannis involutum.
Venite adoremus (ter)
Dominum.

Pro nobis egenum et fœno cubantem
piis foveamus amplexibus;
sic nos amantem quis non redamaret?
Venite adoremus (ter)
Dominum.


Wiener Sängerknaben : Adeste Fideles.

Adeste Fideles,
Laeti triumphantes;
Venite, venite in Bethlehem;
Natum videte,
Regem Angelorum;

Refrain :
Venite adoremus
Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus Dominum !

Deum de Deo,
Lumen de lumine,
Gestant puellae viscera;
Deum verum,
Genitum, non factum : 

Refrain

Cantet nunc hymnos
Chorus angelorum,
Cantet nunc aula caelestium:
Gloria, gloria,
In excelsis Deo !

Refrain

Ergo qui natus
Die hodierna,
Jesu tibi sit gloria:
Patris aeterni
Verbum caro factum !

Refrain

Adeste fideles, laeti triumphantes,
Venite, venite in Bethlehem.
Natum videte regem angelorum:
Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus Dominum!

En grege relicto, humiles ad cunas
Vocati pastores approperant.
Et nos ovanti gradu festinemus:
Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus Dominum!

(Adeste fideles, laeti triumphantes,
Venite, venite in Bethlehem.)
Natum videte regem angelorum:
Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus Dominum!

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,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal,
Lo, He shuns not the Virgin’s womb;
Son of the Father, begotten, not created;

Refrain

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

Refrain

See how the shepherds, summoned to His cradle,
Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze;
We too will thither bend our joyful footsteps;

Refrain

Lo! star led chieftains, Magi, Christ adoring,
Offer Him incense, gold, and myrrh;
We to the Christ Child bring our hearts’ oblations.

Refrain

Child, for us sinners poor and in the manger,
We would embrace Thee, with love and awe;
Who would not love Thee, loving us so dearly?

Refrain

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus, to Thee be glory given;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.
