With Hearts Truly Grateful

This is a lesser known translation of the popular Christmas hymn “Adeste Fideles” (see link at the bottom of this page).

This is the text of this hymn as it appears in Hymns, for the Use of the Catholic Church in the United States of America (New ed.) (1807):

With hearts truly grateful,
Come, all ye faithful,
To Jesus, to Jesus in Bethlehem.
See Christ your Saviour,
Heav’ns greatest favour.
Let’s hasten to adore Him,
Let’s hasten to adore Him,
Let’s hasten to adore Him, our God and King.

God to God equal,
Light of light eternal;
Carried in virgin’s e’er spotless womb.
He all, preceded,
Begotten, not created.
Let’s hasten, &c.

Angels, now praise him,
Loud their voices raising;
The heav’nly mansion with joy now ring;
To him who’s most holy,
Be honour, praise and glory.
Let’s hasten, &c.

To Jesus this day born,
Grateful homage return;
‘Tis he, who all heav’nly gifts doth bring;
Word increated,
To our flesh united.
Let’s hasten, &c.

We joyfully singing,
Grateful tributes bringing,
Praise him, and bless him in heav’nly hymns.
Angels implore him,
Seraphs fall before him.
Then e’er let us adore him,—our God and King.
