My Spin

(Just my opinion. Give us yours!)

"O Come All Ye Faithful" opens the Wonderful World of Christmas album nicely, starting off gentle and easy and building to a full sound in the second verse, as the female singers come in. Many of the songs from this album sound sleepy, but here Elvis is fully engaged.

I'll add some more later, but meanwhile check out the music and links.

Other Spins

(What did the critics and fans say?)


"O Come All Ye Faithful" is a beautiful performance, carefully arranged by Presley himself. The first verse is almost Lutheran in its four-part harmony, almost entirely unaccompanied; and in the second verse (with female descant) the cumulative effect is remarkable.

Robert Matthew-Walker, Elvis Presley: A Study in Music, 1979



Piano and the Imperials - a nice interpretation of the Christmas standard.

Martin Torgoff, The Complete Elvis, 1982

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

Sing choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
Oh sing all ye bright hosts
Of heaven above
Glory to God, Glory in the highest
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
