O Come All Ye Faithful
K.J. Scriven Lyrics

In K.J. Scriven's "O Come All Ye Faithful," the lyrics encourage listeners to join in the pilgrimage to Bethlehem to adore the new King of Angels that has just been born. The song begins with a beckoning to all, inviting them to gather and come to Bethlehem, where the Christ child is laid. The lyric, "Come and behold Him, Born the King of angels, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord," is an invitation to the people, that if they come to Bethlehem, they can stand before the baby Jesus who is the true King of Heaven and Earth.

The second verse of the song explores the idea of God as Light and Creator, and how Christ's birth was unique, for he was not created, but begotten of God. The verse suggests that Jesus was divine, and that he entered the world through a virgin. The lyric, "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," is a declaration of Jesus' divine heritage, and that he should be worshipped and adored.

The final verse of the song describes the scene in Bethlehem, where the shepherds have left their fields to visit the newborn King. The verse then declares that anyone can join in this pilgrimage, and that it is a joyful occasion to adore and praise Jesus. The lyric, "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," invites the people to greet Jesus on this happy morn, and to glorify him for the unique and awesome creation that he is.
