COME TO THE CHILD

 

Words by Mary Rose Jensen

 

Come to the child, O come and worship Him.

He is Immanuel.

Wrapped in our flesh, Eternally God,

Come now and worship well.

 

Come as the shepherds, glorifying God

For what He let them see.

With words of angels filling their hearts,

They worshiped joyfully.

 

Come as the wise men, traveling so far,

Searching for royalty.

With costly gifts to honor their King,

They worshiped mightily.

 

Come to the child with wonder in your heart

At the great mystery.

Learn of Immanuel, God with us,

Then worship thankfully.
