- 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, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King.
- Shepherds, in the field abiding,
Watching o’er your flocks by night, God with us is now residing; Yonder shines the infant light:
- Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great Desire of nations; Ye have seen His natal star.
- Saints, before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear; Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear.
- Sinners, wrung with true repentance,
Doomed for guilt
to endless pains, Justice now revokes the sentence, Mercy calls you; break your chains.
- 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:
- All creation, join in praising
God, the Father, Spirit, Son, Evermore your voices raising To th’eternal Three in One.
