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
Come and worship come and worship
Worship Christ the newborn 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 newborn King
3
Sages leave your contemplations
Brighter visions beam afar
Seek the great Desire of nations
Ye have seen the Infant’s star
Come and worship come and worship
Worship Christ the newborn 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 newborn King

Sinners wrung with true repentance
Doomed for guilt to endless pains
Justice now revokes the sentence
Mercy calls you break your chains
Come and worship come and worship
Worship Christ the newborn King
6
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:
Come and worship come and worship
Worship Christ the newborn King
7
All creation join in praising
God the Father Spirit Son
Evermore your voices raising
To th’eternal Three in One
Come and worship come and worship
Worship Christ the newborn King
