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
