Lyrics
The word of the prophets centuries old
the birth of Messiah has been long foretold
Chorus:
Now unto you, Now unto you
Christ is come!
Let all creation see God's own Son
Oh hail the new born King
The Word made flesh now dwells among us
Christ is Come!
Those born in darkness have seen the great light
The Redeemer of our hearts has been born this night
Chorus:
Now unto you, unto you
Christ is come!
Let all creation see God's own Son
Oh hail the new born King
The Word made flesh now dwells among us
Christ is Come!
Bridge:
Prince of peace, Yeshua, Messiah, Son of Man
Holy One, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Great I Am
Comforter, Counselor, Author and Finisher
Divine truth, Reveler, Deliverer, Healer,
You Are God, Jesus You are God
Christ is come!
Let all creation see God's own Son
Oh hail the new born King
The Word made flesh now dwells among us
Christ is Come!

Meaning & Inspiration
Christ Is Come gathers several biblical images of the Messiah’s birth into a direct proclamation of Christmas hope. The opening points to the prophetic expectation of a promised deliverer, then announces the arrival of Christ as good news for creation. Images of light entering darkness and the Word becoming flesh connect the nativity with both prophetic promise and the opening chapter of John’s Gospel.
The bridge expands that confession through names and titles associated with Jesus: Prince of Peace, Messiah, Son of Man, Holy One, King of Kings, Counselor, Deliverer, and Healer. Rather than treating the birth as an isolated scene, the lyric identifies the newborn King with the Redeemer and Lord. Its recurring declaration, “Christ is come,” gives the song a celebratory focus while keeping the identity of Jesus central. The result is a Christmas worship song shaped by promise, incarnation, divine light, and the arrival of salvation.
