Lyrics
[Verse]
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]
Shepherds, in the fields abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant light:
[Verse]
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]
Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In his temple shall appear.
[Verse]
Sinners, wrung with true repentance,
Doomed for guilt to endless pains,
Justice now revokes the sentence,
Mercy calls you—break your chains:
[Refrain]
Come and worship,
Come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
[Verse]
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:
[Verse]
All creation, join in praising
God the Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore your voices raising,
To th'eternal Three in One:
Doomed for guilt to endless pains,
Justice now revokes the sentence,
Mercy calls you—break your chains:
[Refrain]
Come and worship,
Come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
[Verse]
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:
[Verse]
All creation, join in praising
God the Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore your voices raising,
To th'eternal Three in One:
[Refrain]
Come and worship,
Come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
[End]
