Lyrics
Behold the star of Bethlehem
The word of God has become flesh
Unto us a child is born
The Savior of this broken world
Oh hear the angel voices
Sing come, let us adore Him
Peace has come for our King is with us
Oh oh oh oh
Fully God and fully man
He comes for all with open hands
He rules with love on David's throne
All praise belongs to Christ alone
Oh hear the angel voices
Sing come, let us adore Him
Peace has come for our King is with us
Oh oh oh oh
Oh, peace has come
Holy holy holy
Jesus we adore Thee
Peace has come for our King is with us
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Oh hear the angel voices
Sing come, let us adore Him (we adore Him, oh)
Peace has come for our King is with us
Peace has come for our King is with us

Meaning & Inspiration
“Peace Has Come” tells the Christmas story through the incarnation, the angelic announcement, and the promised reign of Christ. The opening verse moves from Bethlehem’s star to the Word becoming flesh and a child being born for a broken world. Its chorus answers those images with adoration: peace has arrived because the King is present. The language is worshipful and explicitly centered on Jesus rather than on the surrounding customs of Christmas.
The second verse holds together Christ’s divinity and humanity, then links his kingship with David’s throne. Those lines closely echo John 1:14 and Luke 1:32-33, while the child and Savior language reflects Luke 2:10-14. Repeated invitations to adore Christ give the song a congregational character, and the “holy” refrain responds to his identity with praise. Peace is presented not merely as calm circumstances, but as the consequence of God dwelling with humanity in the person of Christ.
