Chris August's 'Come Now Our King' is a reflective Christmas song that captures the quiet anticipation of the nativity. The lyrics paint a peaceful scene of Bethlehem, with children tucked in and angels whispering about the coming Savior. The chorus calls for the King to come, expressing a longing for His arrival. The song then shifts to the shepherds' journey and the baby's cry, and later connects the manger to the empty grave, celebrating Jesus' birth as the foundation of salvation. It's a worshipful reminder of the hope and joy found in Christ's coming.

Bethlehem turns in tonight
A town led up by candle lights
All the children tucked in tight
Bethlehem turns in tonight
The Angels start their whispering
About the one they're welcoming
No one knows what's soon to be
Angels start their whispering
[Chorus:]
They sing glory
In the highest
Come now our king
We've been
Waiting
Come now our king
Silence falls
Yet once again
Shepherds leave for Bethlehem
Baby's cry soon welcomes them
Silence falls yet once again
[Chorus:]
They sing glory
In the highest
Come now our king
We've been
Waiting
Come now our king
Glory oh glory
You came here to save
Oh Lord we've been waiting so
Come now our king
Now my night has turned to day
An empty manger, empty grave
Baby born so I could say
Now my night has turned to day
[Chorus:]
Oh oh
We sing glory
In the highest
Come now our king
We've been
Waiting
Come now our king
Oh oh
Come now our king
