God's Portal - 'Adeste Fideles', also known as 'O Come, all Ye Faithful'



FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, LUMIERE CHARITY HAS BEEN APPROACHED RE THE NEED FOR MUSIC FOR USE IN MASSES AND SERVICES OF WORSHIP.
Many priests, pastors, and worshipping communities find themselves unable to enjoy a sung Mass or worship service due to any or all of the following factors;

  • No church
  • No money to build a church
  • No organ
  • No piano
  • No musical instruments
  • No money to purchase musical instruments
  • No organist
  • No pianist
  • No musicians

In answer to the requests, we have founded 'God's Portal', which will make free musical backing soundtracks available.

HOW TO USE;

  1. Download the MP3 tracks [or tracks] you wish to use.
  2. Each track is of music which is in the public domain, all being over a hundred years old.
  3. Use the different musical backings in your church/worship services/ public event to enable congregation/ worshippers to enjoy singing with backing.
  4. The usual format is to choose four songs for a Mass or worship Service.
  5. These are used in the following way;


  • First track or piece of music as an Entrance song [at the beginning of the Mass or Worship Service].
  • Second track or piece of music at the Offertory [at a point in the Mass or Worship Service where prayer is offered, and congregants conduct the Offertory according to their usual protocol]
  • Third track or piece of music after Communion.
  • Fourth track or piece of music at the Recessional [end of the Mass or worship Service.]

Feel free to use these tracks for any worthy purpose.

ADESTE FIDELES
or 'O Come, all Ye Faithful'

1. 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;
    O come, let us adore Him,
    O come, let us adore Him,
    O come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord.

2. God of God, Light of Light,
    Lo, He abhors not the Virgin's womb;
    Very God, Begotten, not created;
    O come, let us adore Him,
    O come, let us adore Him,
    O come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord.

3. Sing, choirs of Angels, Sing in exultation,
    Sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above;
   "Glory to GOD, in the highest,
    O come, let us adore Him,
    O come, let us adore Him,
    O come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord.

4. Yea, LORD, we greet Thee, Born this happy morning,
    JESU, to Thee be glory given;
   "Word of the Father, Now in flesh appearing;
    O come, let us adore Him.
    O come, let us adore Him,
    O come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord.
