1 Angels, from the realms of glory,
wing your flight o'er all the earth;
heralds of 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 fields abiding,
watching over flocks by night,
God with us is now residing;
yonder shines the infant Light: [Refrain]
3 Wise men, leave your contemplations,
brighter visions beam afar;
seek the great Desire of nations,
you 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]
