John Francis Wade was an Englishman who spent a large portion of his life in France, in exile. It is there that he composed Adeste Fideles (O Come All Ye Faithful); from Wikipedia:
John Francis Wade (1711 - 16 August 1786) was an English hymnist who is credited with writing and composing the hymn "Adeste Fideles" (which was later translated to "O Come All Ye Faithful").
Born either in England or in Douai in Flanders, France, Wade fled to France after the Jacobite rising of 1745 was crushed. As a Catholic layman, he lived with exiled English Catholics in France for the rest of his life.[citation needed] There, he taught music and worked on church music for private use.
