'Come Let Us Adore Him' is a Christmas compilation from prolific producers Steve Hindalong and Marc Byrd who also had a hand in writing a lot of the songs. The opening song, "Sanctus", is a beautifully sung Latin ballad by newcomer Ana Laura. With appearances from Cindy Morgan, Julie Miller, Bebo Norman and members of Jars Of Clay, Caedmon's Call, Days Of Fire and Third Day there is plenty of variation to keep the interest going. The production and songwriting keep enough consistency to enable the album not to suffer from the lack of coherency that blight a lot of compilation projects. There are no really weak songs and some of the new songs presented here will definitely be around for years to come. The perfect antidote to those endless streams of albums featuring carols and Santa songs.
