I have found two sets of Christmas lyrics for this tune:

1.
VERSION I.

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;

REFRAIN:
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

2.
True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal,
Lo, He shuns not the Virgin's womb;
Son of the Father, begotten, not created;

(Refrain)

3.
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation;
O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest;

(Refrain)

4.
See how the shepherds, summoned to His cradle,
Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze;
We too will thither bend our joyful footsteps;

(Refrain)

5.
Lo! star led chieftains, Magi, Christ adoring,
Offer Him incense, gold, and myrrh;
We to the Christ Child bring our hearts' oblations.

(Refrain)

6.
Child, for us sinners poor and in the manger,
We would embrace Thee, with love and awe;
Who would not love Thee, loving us so dearly?

(Refrain)

7.
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus, to Thee be glory given;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.

(Refrain)


VERSION II.

1.
Hither, ye faithful, haste with songs of triumph,
To Bethlehem haste, the Lord of Life to meet;
To you this day is born a Prince and Savior;

REFRAIN:
O come, and let us worship,
O come, and let us worship,
O come, and let us worship, at His feet.

2.
Jesus, for such wondrous condescension,
Our praises and rev'rence are an off'ring meet;
Now is the Word made flesh and dwells among us;

(Refrain)

3.
Shout His almighty Name, ye choir of angels;
Let the celestial courts his praise repeat!
Unto our God be glory in the highest!

(Refrain)
