Advent Carols #1: O Come All Ye Faithful [Candle] – Isaiah 9:6
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” Isaiah 9:6
Come Let Us Adore…Who?
Welcome to week one of the Advent Carol series as we approach Christmas! Our first Christmas carol in this series is O Come All Ye Faithful. The most iconic image associated with Advent is a wreath with candles. One candle is lit each week leading up to Christmas.
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant!
O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord!
Our verse is from Isaiah 9:6 and tells us who we are coming to adore:
Wonderful Counselor
Mighty God
Everlasting Father
Prince of Peace
Wow! When we need advice, He is our Counselor. When we feel powerless, He is mighty. When we feel abandoned, He is the Father who never leaves us. When we are caught in lives of chaos, He is our Peace.
The Light of the World
Into the darkness of this world was born the Light that would eradicate the darkness of sin. God with us. 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
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord!
It’s Time to Rejoice
Sing out! Rejoice! Exult with the angels! The plan of God is revealed in Christ Himself – the redemptive Messiah!
The Word of God in Flesh
All glory is to be given to the Word of God who was made flesh so that He could be with us, to redeem us. We adore Him because of what He did for us.
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
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord!
