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:
Come and worship, Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.
2 Shepherds in the field abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant-light.
Come and worship, Come and worship,
Worship Christ the new-born King.
3 Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations,
Ye have seen his natal star.
Come and worship, Come and worship,
Worship Christ the new-born King.
4 Saints, before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending
In His temple shall appear.
Come and worship, Come and worship,
Worship Christ the new-born King.
