"with ""Bethlehem"" a common Jacobite cipher for England and ""Regem Angelorum"" a pun on ""Angelorum"" (Angels) and ""Anglorum"" (English). Wade had fled to France after the Jacobite rising of 1745 was crushed. From the 1740s to 1770s the earliest forms of the carol commonly appeared in English Roman Catholic liturgical books close to prayers for the exiled Old Pretender. In the books by Wade it was often decorated with Jacobite floral imagery, as were other liturgical texts with coded Jacobite meanings. In performance, verses are often omitted – either because the hymn is too long in its entirety or because"

The hymn has been called the anthem of the nineteenth-century Mormon pioneers. Clayton wrote the hymn ""All is Well"" on April 15, 1846, as his Mormon pioneer caravan rested at Locust Creek, Iowa, over 100 miles west of its origin city of Nauvoo, Illinois. Just prior to writing the lyrics, Clayton had received word that one of his wives, Diantha, had given birth to a healthy boy in Nauvoo."
"Duke of Leeds, in 1795, heard it sung at the Portuguese embassy in London. However, the translation that he heard differs greatly from the Oakeley-Brooke translation, and was over forty years after John Francis Wade had published the hymn in 1751. The Sacred Harp hymn tune ""Portuguese Hymn"", in 9 11 11 meter with 7 7 10 refrain (""Hither Ye Faithful, Haste with Songs of Triumph""), is slightly different from the usual tune.

"English translation of ""O Come, All Ye Faithful"" by the English Catholic priest Frederick Oakeley, written in 1841, is widespread in most English-speaking countries. The present harmonisation is from the ""English Hymnal"" (1906). Besides John Francis Wade, the tune has been purported to be written by several musicians, from John Reading and his son to Handel and even Gluck, including the Portuguese composers Marcos Portugal or the king John IV of Portugal himself. Thomas Arne, whom Wade knew, is another possible composer. There are several similar musical themes written around that time, though it can be hard to determine whether"

"Latin verse is rarely printed. The text has been translated innumerable times, but the most used version today is the English ""O Come, All Ye Faithful"". This is a combination of one of Frederick Oakeley's translations of the original four verses and William Thomas Brooke's of the three additional ones, which was first published in ""Murray's Hymnal"" in 1852. Oakeley originally titled the song “Ye Faithful, approach ye” when it was sung at his Margaret Church in Marylebone before it was altered to its current form.

An anonymous poet, who was probably inspired by Ringwaldt's song, wrote a communion hymn of three stanzas, beginning """" (Lord Jesus Christ, you highest good, who invited us), taking not only the first line, but also the rhyme of the second from Ringwaldt's hymn. Its theology follows writing by Johann Arndt, who had written in ""Sechs Bücher vom wahren Christentum"" that God is good and the highest good, which can be tasted in his sacrament. The song appeared first in Chemnitz in 1713 in the hymnal ""Vollständiges Chemnitzer Gesangbuch"". The melody refers to Ringwaldt's"

"they were paraphrased extensively by the English poet Cynewulf in a poem written before the year 800. However, despite popular imagination of an early origin for ""O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,"" the hymn's history is first substantiated only much later. While ""O come, O come, Emmanuel"" is often linked with the 12th century, the earliest surviving evidence of the hymn's text is in the seventh edition of ""Psalteriolum Cantionum Catholicarum"", which was published in Cologne in 1710. That hymnal was a major force in the history of German church music: first assembled by Jesuit hymnographer Johannes Heringsdorf in 1610 and"
"John Francis Wade John Francis Wade (1711 – 16 August 1786) was an English hymnist who is sometimes credited with writing and composing the hymn ""Adeste Fideles"" (which was later translated to ""O Come All Ye Faithful""), even though the actual authorship of the hymn remains uncertain. The earliest copies of the hymn all bear his signature. Born either in England or in Douai, Flanders, France, Wade fled to France after the Jacobite rising of 1745 was crushed.

It often features prominently in annual Remembrance Day services in the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth. Words were taken from a poem by Sir John Stanhope Arkwright (1872–1954), published in ""The Supreme Sacrifice, and other Poems in Time of War"" (1919). It was set to music by the Rev.

The rhyme was not recorded until the nineteenth century, but the reference to Cantelon in the Scottish version has led some to conclude that it refers to Caledon in the time of the Crusades. Babylon may be a corruption of 'Babyland', but the city was a common allusion particularly in seventeenth-century England and 'Can I get there by candlelight?' was a common saying in the sixteenth century."
