Jeremy Camp (Holiday) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, come ye
O come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold him
Born the King of angels
O come, let us adore him
Christ the Lord

God of God

Light of light
Lo, he abhors
Not the virgin's womb
Very God
Begotten not created
O come, let us adore him
Christ the Lord

Sing, choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
Sing, all ye citizens
Of heaven above
Glory to God
In the highest

O come
Let us adore him
Christ the Lord

See how the shepards
Summoned to his cradel
Leaving their flocks
Draw nigh with lowly fear
We too will thither hend
Our joyful footsteps
O come, let us adore him
Christ the Lord

Yea, Lord, we greet thee
Born this happy morning
Jesus
To thee be glory given
Word of the Father
Now in flesh appearing
O come

Let us adore him
Christ the Lord

Overall Meaning

The song "O Come All Ye Faithful" is a traditional Christmas carol that dates back to the 17th century. Jeremy Camp's version of the song begins with an invitation to come to Bethlehem and behold the birth of the King of angels, Christ the Lord. The second verse declares Christ's divinity and his miraculous birth through a virgin, stating that he is "Very God, Begotten not created." The chorus repeats the call to adore Christ the Lord.

The third verse calls on choirs of angels and citizens of heaven to sing in exultation and give glory to God in the highest. The final verse references the biblical story of the shepherds who were summoned to the manger to witness Christ's birth and invites listeners to follow in their footsteps and come to adore Christ the Lord. The song ends by proclaiming Jesus, the Word of the Father, who appeared in flesh on this happy morning.
