Gesu Bambino by Pietro Yon
When blossoms flower
e'er 'mid the snows,
Upon a winter night,
Was born the Child,
the Christmas Rose,
The King of Love and
Light.
The angels sang, the
shepherds sang,
The grateful earth
rejoiced;
And at His blessed
birth the stars
Their
exultation voiced.
Chorus:
O come let us adore
Him
O come let us adore
Him
O come let us adore
Him
Christ
the Lord.
Again the heart with
rapture glows
To greet the holy
night,
That gave the world
its Christmas Rose,
Its King of Love and
Light
Let ev'ry voice
acclaim His name,
The grateful chorus
swell
From paradise to earth
He came
That
we with Him might dwell.
Chorus:
O come let us adore
Him
O come let us adore
Him
The King of Love and
Light.
This
Italian Christmas carol written by Pietro Yon has one of the most beautiful
melodies of any of the Christmas carols that I know. Surely Christ is “The King of Love and
Light.” Christ has been given many names and this
carol identifies Him as the “King of
Love and Light” and the “Christmas
Rose”
Jesus life,
death and resurrection are evidences that He was and is the King of Love and
Light. He loved much and brought light
and hope into this sin-cursed world.
This Christmas Rose is capable to bring beauty into the lives of people
who are steeped in darkness and despair.
We must not forget to take the advice of this famous carol which
admonishes Christians, “O come let us adore
Him the King of Love and Light.”
Thought for the day
Notice
that the Christmas carol written by Pietro Yon admonishes Christians, “O come
let us adore Him. God desires to be
worshiped by people who want to worship.
So, let our “grateful chorus swell” and “Let every voice acclaim His
name” during this Advent.
