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.
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;

Shepherds, in the field abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing;
Yonder shines the Infant Light;
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing;
Yonder shines the Infant Light;
Sages, leave your contemplations;
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen his natal star;
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen his natal star;
Saints, before the altar bending.
Watching long in hope and fear.
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In his temple shall appear;
Watching long in hope and fear.
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In his temple shall appear;
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,
Worship Christ, the new-horn king.
Doomed for guilt to endless pains.
Justice now revokes the sentence;
Mercy calls you, break your chains;
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-horn king.
