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
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 shepherds
Summoned to his cradle
Leaving their flocks
Draw nigh with lowly fear
We too will thither bend
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
The song "O Come O Come Emmanuel" is a traditional Christmas hymn that reflects on the birth of Jesus Christ. The song invites everyone to come and witness the birth of the Savior in Bethlehem, the King of the angels. The first verse, "Oh, come ye O come ye to Bethlehem, come and behold him born the King of angels," is an invitation to visit the holy place where Jesus was born, and to witness the miracle of his birth. The second verse, "God of God, light of light, Lo he abhors not the virgin's womb, very God begotten, not created," describes the divine nature of Jesus Christ, highlighting his divine origins.
The third verse, "Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation, sing all ye citizens of heaven above, glory to God in the highest," reflects the chorus of angels that announced the birth of Jesus Christ. The fourth verse, "See how the shepherds summoned to his cradle, leaving their flocks, draw nigh with lowly fear," is a reminder that the birth of Jesus Christ was not only witnessed by angelic beings but also by simple people like shepherds. The final verse, "Yea Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning, Jesus, to thee be glory given, word of the Father now in flesh appearing," recognizes Jesus Christ as the Word of God who appeared in human form.

I was Muslim and converted to being a follower of our lLord Jesus Christ..I prayed to God one time with all my heart and asked him to show me if heโs real then Jesus came into my life. The holly spirit is guiding me and I will start preaching in Godโs name one day to bring this gift of true love and happiness to less fortunate and lost souls.Amen โคโคโคโค๐๐

I was a Buddhist and then became an atheist. I was very antagonist towards religion. One day Jesus love filled my heart. That's the first time I felt true love.
