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.
2 Shepherds in the fields abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant light: (Refrain)
3 Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen his natal star: (Refrain)
4 Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In his temple shall appear; (Refrain)
5 All creation, join in praising
God the Father, Spirit, Son;
Evermore your voices raising
To th'eternal Three in One: (Refrain)
