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:

Chorus

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: 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. 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. Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Verse 5

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.
