  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, Worship Christ, the new-born King. Shepherds in the field abiding, Watching o’er your flock by night, God with man is now residing! Yonder shines the Infant light: Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great Desire of Nations, Ye have seen his natal star: Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. Saints before the altar bending, Waiting long with hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord descending, In his temple shall appear: Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. Sinners wrung with new repentance, Doomed for guilt, to endless pains, Justice now repeals the sentence, Mercy calls you—breaks your chains! Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. |
