Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: African American Heritage Hymnal #207 (2001) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Angels, from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
You 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 fields 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!
