I’ve just been casting a censorious eye over the seven verses (I hadn’t remembered it as being as long as that) as published in Wikipedia Ancient & Modern, and it seems to be suitably free from non-Biblical accretions. Some churchgoers, notably those afflicted by the recent snowflake epidemic, might quibble at the overly explicit word “viscera” in the original Latin text, but I haven’t spotted anything else that anyone could reasonably object to.<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Come,_All_Ye_Faithful<br />Ray Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258297478457941505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-79616992366024706832017-12-16T12:45:35.134+00:002017-12-16T12:45:35.134+00:00We also aren't told whether the first angel is...We also aren't told whether the first angel is a "seraph".

The sole carol in the list was While Shepherds Watched, being a literal retelling (ish - we don't know if they were seated on the ground or not....) of Luke 2. Ah those were the days.
