Verse 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,
come and worship,
worship Christ,
the newborn King.
Verse 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
Come and worship,
come and worship,
worship Christ,
the newborn King.
Verse 3
Sages, leave
your contemplations,
brighter visions
beam afar;
seek the great
Desire of nations;
ye have seen
his natal star:
Refrain
Come and worship,
come and worship,
worship Christ,
the newborn King.
Verse 4
Saints, before the
altar bending,
watching long
in hope and fear;
suddenly the
Lord, descending,
in his temple
shall appear:
Refrain
Come and worship,
come and worship,
worship Christ,
the newborn King.
