Oh! Vinde, Fiéis, Triunfantes, Legres

The song 'Oh! Vinde, Fiéis, Triunfantes, Legres' from the Hinário Luterano is a jubilant and heartfelt invitation to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The lyrics call upon the faithful to come to Bethlehem, driven by love, to witness the birth of their promised King, the Messiah. This song is steeped in the Christian tradition of adoration and reverence, emphasizing the joy and triumph that accompany the arrival of Jesus. The repeated refrain, 'Alegres adoremos a nosso Senhor!' (Let us joyfully worship our Lord!), underscores the communal and joyous nature of this worship.

The second verse highlights the humility of Jesus' birth, a theme central to the Christian narrative. Despite being the King of Kings, Jesus is born in a humble setting, and this humility is met with fervent praise from the angels. The lyrics invite the faithful to marvel at this great humility and join the angels in their fervent worship. This verse reinforces the idea that Jesus' coming is a divine act of love and humility, meant to dwell among humanity.

In the third verse, the song speaks of Jesus descending from the celestial heights and taking on the form of a servant out of love. This act of divine condescension is celebrated as a gift that grants eternal life to believers. The final verse calls for universal worship, with angels in heaven and people on earth united in singing praises to God. The song concludes with a call to render honor and glory to God, encapsulating the essence of Christmas as a time of joyous adoration and celebration of God's love manifested in Jesus Christ.
