Come, Let Us Adore Him
Come, let us adore Him— Christ, the Lord.
Not with a hurried glance or a distracted word,
But with our hearts bowed low and every knee bent down,
Before the King of Glory,who wears love’s thornèd crown.
O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. (Psalm 95:6)
Let us adore the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world,
The spotless One whose banner over us is unfurled.
Let us adore theWord made flesh, who dwelt among our strife,
The Author of our salvation,the very Lord of life.
Bring the gold of your reverence, the frankincense of prayer,
The myrrh of surrendered sorrow,and lay them gladly there.
For He is worthy—worthy of all honor,power, and praise,
Through the endless,bright forever of eternal days.
You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power. (Revelation 4:11)
So come from the busy street, come from the quiet place.
Come,every tribe and nation, behold the King of grace.
With angels and archangels,and all the host above,
Come, let us adore Him—for He is worthy of our love.
We adore You, Jesus.
Our Prophet, Priest, and King.
Amen.
This call, immortalized in the hymn "O Come, All Ye Faithful," is an eternal invitation. It echoes the wise men who sought the newborn King (Matthew 2:11) and points forward to the scene in Revelation where every creature worships (Revelation 5:13). To adore Him is to recognize and respond to His supreme worth with our whole being—our time, our resources, our awe, and our deepest love.
