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 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

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 heโ€™s real then Jesus came into my life. The holly spirit is guiding me and I will start preaching in Godโ€™s name one day to bring this gift of true love and happiness to less fortunate and lost souls.Amen โคโคโคโค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜‡

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.
