The song “Oh Come All Ye Faithful” by Matthew and Gunnar Nelson is a contemporary version of the classic Christmas hymn that calls upon all believers to come and adore the Lord. The opening stanza of the song invites everyone to come to Bethlehem and behold the King of angels who is born on this joyous occasion. The refrain then follows with an emphatic call to adore Him, Christ the Lord. This repetition highlights the importance of recognizing and praising the arrival of the Christ-child.
The second verse of the song takes on a more celebratory tone as the choirs of angels sing in exultation and citizens of heaven share their glory with God. The final verse then brings back the initial message of the song with the proclamation that the Lord is born, and all should come and adore Him.
Overall, the song serves as a powerful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas and the significance of the Christ-child’s arrival for all believers.
