Text 
Countless days on a journey that led so far 
Endless nights they travelled to follow the star 
 
They did not find a palace, just a humble village home 
And searching for a king, but finding a child, no crown, no throne 
Still they bowed down 
 
Come let us adore Him 
Oh, come let us adore Him 
Oh, come let us adore Him 
Christ the Lord 

Expectation turned to mystery 
For nothing was like anything they'd dreamed 
 
Anticipating the royal and those honoured by this world 
Instead they gazed in the awestruck eyes of a lowly peasant girl 
Holding her child 
The brilliant gold, the fragrant myrrh 
The costly frankincense 
Placed before Him.

A Singing Communion of Churches

During this Advent season, LWF member churches are sharing hymns from their congregations to show how the Lutheran communion regions prepare for Christ’s coming into this world.

We want to use this period to reflect on and celebrate the diversity, uniqueness and oneness of God’s gifts to us. Follow the #lwfadvent calendar lutheranworld.org/advent-hymns
