"O Come, All Ye Faithful", also known as "Adeste Fideles", is a Christmas carol that has been attributed to various authors, including John Francis Wade (1711–1786), John Reading (1645–1692), King John IV of Portugal (1604–1656), and anonymous Cistercian monks. In modern English hymnals, the text is usually credited to John Francis Wade,
Besides John Francis Wade, the tune has been attributed to several musicians, from John Reading and his son, to Handel, and even the German composer Gluck. The Portuguese composer Marcos Portugal as well as King John IV of Portugal have also been credited. Thomas Arne, whom Wade knew, is another possible composer. There are several similar musical themes written around that time, though it can be hard to determine whether these were written in imitation of the hymn, whether the hymn was based on them, or whether they are totally unconnected.

‘O Come All Ye Faithful’ is the carol often used to end all Christmas concerts. Its rousing melody – attributed to a number of composers over the years, including Handel and Gluck – is generally credited to John Francis Wade.
Printed in 1751, the text was originally written in Latin as ‘Adeste Fideles’, a title still sometimes seen printed on Christmas albums.
But the English translation, written by the English Catholic priest Frederick Oakeley in 1841, is the most commonly used version.

This particular version of Adorate Deum (a hymn in itself used in the Introit of the Mass) also includes Psalm 97:6.

Catholic Renaissance Hymn for Benediction

"Adoro te devote" is a prayer written by Thomas Aquinas. Unlike hymns which were composed and set to music, it was not written for a liturgical function and appears in no liturgical texts of the period; some scholars believe that it was written by the friar for private use at Mass.The text has since been incorporated into public worship as a hymn.
Thomas seems to have used it also as a private prayer, for a daily adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
Adoro te devote is one of the medieval poetic compositions, being used as spoken prayers and also as chanted hymns, which were preserved in the Roman Missal published in 1570 following the Council of Trent (1545–1563).

The Adoro te devote is perhaps the most well-beloved Eucharistic hymn of our time, popularly attributed to St. Thomas Aquinas, the medieval Dominican friar known for his theological treatises as well as his Eucharistic hymnography. Unlike most of Aquinas's work, the poem reveals the intensely personal side of his faith.

LYRICS:
Ayy
(I'll be afraid with you)

I can't stop your tears
But I'll lay beside you on the floor
And let mine fall into yours
I can't be your peace
But I'll stay right by you in the storm
I'll fight beside you in the war

I might not have all the words
Might not be able to fix all the hurt
Ooh, can't pretend to know what you're goin' through, yeah

But when the weight of the pain's too heavy
When you're lost and you're scared to death
I wanna feel it too
I'll be afraid with you
If your fear's got your heart surrounded
I'm right here, you can take my hand
I wanna feel it too
I'll be afraid with you, afraid with you

Ay-yeah, yeah, yeah
Ay-yeah, yeah, yeah
Ay-yeah, yeah, yeah (I'll be afraid with you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

If you let me in
I'll listen to the voices in your head
I'll meet you in the middle of your mess

I might not have all the words
Might not be able to fix all the hurt
Ooh, but thinkin' you're alone is a lie

'Cause when the weight of the pain's too heavy
When you're lost and you're scared to death
I wanna feel it too
I'll be afraid with you
If your fear's got your heart surrounded
I'm right here, you can take my hand
I wanna feel it too
I'll be afraid with you, afraid with you

Ay-yeah, yeah, yeah
Ay-yeah, yeah, yeah
Ay-yeah, yeah, yeah (I'll be afraid with you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come a little closer, come a little closer
You can let your secrets out
Come a little closer, come a little closer
You can let the walls come down
Come a little closer, come a little closer
You can be yourself right now
You can be yourself right now
Thinkin' you're alone is a lie (woo)

When the weight of the pain's too heavy
When you're lost and you're scared to death
I wanna feel it too (oh, I wanna feel it too)
I'll be afraid with you (I'll be afraid with you)
If your fear's got your heart surrounded
I'm right here, you can take my hand
I wanna feel it too (I wanna feel it too)
I'll be afraid with you, afraid with you

Ay-yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ay-yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Ay-yeah, yeah, yeah (I'll be afraid with you, ooh)

Ay-yeah, yeah, yeah (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ay-yeah, yeah, yeah (ooh-ooh-ooh) (ooh-ooh)
Ay-yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll be afraid with you, afraid with you

So here are your takeaways
God is saying that if you are going to be like Him
You have to love like Him
You have to love people who don't think like you
Who don't look like you
Who don't vote like you
Who don't dress like you
And you have to take down the tribunal
Whereby you try people before you love them
And begin to understand that love has no loopholes

Don't dress it up in political clothes
Don't dress it up in religious clothes
Don't dress it up in status, love has no loopholes
See, well, love will make you change your mind
Love'll make you go an extra mile
Love'll make you apologize, even though you thought you was right
Love'll make you feed somebody who cursed you out
Love'll make you call somebody, even though it makes you look like the weaker one
Does anybody understand the words that are comin' out of my mouth?

You are Holy
Oh Holy
Holy, Holy, Holy

I can't comprehend
You're infinitely beautif

LYRICS:
After today I'll get me out of this place. into the world so I can set a new pace. seems I'm on my own from here- vision doesn't seem so clear.
won't You lay me in Your hands of grace.

I've got a funny feeling that I'm gonna go away- gonna face my future, gonna try to make the grade. I've got a ways to go from here and vision doesn't seem so clear, but praise God He's got a plan and understanding isn't my place.

after today I'm gonna come face to face. with a new world who knows I'm feeling this way. I've got a ways to go from here- I'm gonna overcome these fears. still I'm gonna need Your hands of grace.

I'll be a bigger man... I'll pray a bigger prayer... I'll dream a bigger dream...for today.

LYRICS:
I'll be honest with all that I've been through
I've been running after everything but You
And I'll be honest: nothing satisfies
Like the love I find inside Your eyes

There's nothing sweeter than Your love
It's all I want, it's all I need
There's nothing sweeter than Your love
You gave it all, poured out for me

So I'm not after the world
I'm after You
So I'm not after the world
I'm after You

You were watching
Waiting all this time
While I was searching for something in this life
But there's nothing here that I could find
Like the love I find inside Your eyes

'Cause nothing's sweeter than Your love
It's all I want, it's all I need
There's nothing sweeter than Your love
You gave it all, poured out for me

So I'm not after the world
I'm after You
So I'm not after the world
I'm after You

I'm not running after the world
I'm running after You
So I'm not after the world
I'm only after You

Nothing's sweeter than Your love
It's all I want, it's all I need
There's nothing sweeter than Your love
You gave it all, poured out for me

'Cause nothing's sweeter than Your love
It's all I want, it's all I need
There's nothing sweeter than Your love
You gave it all, poured out for me

So I'm not after the world
I'm not after the world

LYRICS:
I've tasted fire, I'm ready to come alive
I can't just shut it up and fake that I'm alright
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the afterlife

I'll let it burn the way the sunlight burns my skin
The way I feel inside, the way the day begins
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the other side
I'm ready now, I'm ready now

'Cause everyday
The world is made
A chance to change, but I feel the same
And I wonder why would I wait 'till I die to come alive?
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the afterlife

Yeah
I still believe we can live forever
You and I we begin forever now
Forever now, forever
I still believe in us together
You and I we're here together now
Forever now
Forever now
Or never now

'Cause everyday
The world is made
A chance to change, but I feel the same
And I wonder why would I wait 'till I die to come alive?
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the afterlife

Everyday
A choice is made
Everyday
I choose my fate

And I wonder why would I wait 'till I die to come alive?
To come alive
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday

I still feel the same
And I wonder why would I wait 'till I die to come alive?
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the afterlife

I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the afterlife

Yeah
Yeah!
Yeah!
