O Come All Ye Faithful
Adeste Fideles
"Adeste fideles" (O, Come All Ye Faithful).
The Christmas song or carol with the initials AF is "Adeste Fidelis" or "O Come, All Ye Faithful". The original song has been attributed to John Francis Wade, John Reading, and King John IV of Portugal. The English translation of "O Come, All Ye Faithful" was written in 1841 by the English Catholic priest, Frederick Oakeley.
"adeste": comes from "adsum, adesse, adfui, adfuturus" (to be present); The imperative of "adsum" is "ades" (2nd person singular) and "adeste" (2nd person plural). So it means "Be present", or "Come!", as in "Come, all ye Faithful," in the carol, "Adeste, fideles!"

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.
