Sung to the following words:

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;
Come and worship,
Christ, the new-born King.
Verse 2. Shepherds in the field abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant light;
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new born 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,
Worship Christ, the new born King.
Verse 4. Saints, before the alter bending,
Watching long with hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In his temple shell appear;
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new born King.
