Also known as Prosa in Nativitáte Dómini or the Portugese Hymn, Adeste, Fideles has been used at Benediction at Christmastide in France and England since the end of the eighteenth century. It invites all the faithfulto come to Bethlehem to worship the newborn Savious. Although more than forty different English translations were made, Oakeley’s translation O Come, All Ye Faithful was the most preferred, with additional verses translatedby W.T. Brooke. All in all, the hymn has been translated into at least 125 languages and is one of the most popular of all Christmas hymns.
