O' come adore God's precious Lamb
born many years ago.
He came to free the world from sin
and set our hearts aglow.
With adoration, we call out
His name, Immanuel.
We sing His praises all day long—
He is our Living Well. . .
A wellspring of the good Lord's love,
His peace, His mercy, grace.
Christ is the Shepherd who protects
from dangers that we face.
We trust that He will keep us safe
on paths that we come to.
The Son of God won't let us stray—
He came to make us new.
Christ Jesus is the Prince of Peace
who brought great hope for all.
We honor Him with heart and soul
and listen for His call.
And when He calls to us by name
I pray we hear His voice,
and go to Him with shouts of joy—
in Him please do rejoice.
