Adeste Fidelis

Music: Adeste Fidelis is a Christmas tune attributed to John Francis Wade (1711–1786), possibly based on a 13th century version by John of Reading. The English translation is "O Come, All Ye Faithful" by the English Catholic priest, Frederick Oakeley. German: "Nun freut euch, ihr Christen" or "Herbei, o ihr Gläub'gen". Contains the line: 'Kommt lasset uns anbeten...'.
