1 Angels from the realms of glory,
wing your flight o'er all the earth;
ye who sang creation's story
now proclaim Messiah's birth:
Refrain:
Come and worship
Christ the new-born King,
come and worship,
worship Christ the new-born King.
2 Shepherds in the field abiding,
watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with us is now residing;
yonder shines the infant Light: [Refrain]
3 Sages, leave your contemplations;
brighter visions beam afar;
seek the great Desire of Nations;
ye have seen his natal star: [Refrain]
4 Though an infant now we view him,
he shall fill his Father's throne,
gather all the nations to him;
every knee shall then bow down: [Refrain]
