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.

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.

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.

Saints, before the altar bending,

Watching long in hope and fear,

Suddenly the Lord descending

In His temple shall appear;

Come and worship,

Worship Christ the new-born King.

Sinners, wrung with true repentance,

Doom'd for guilt to endless pains,

Justice now revokes the sentence,

Mercy calls you--break your chains;

Come and worship,

Worship Christ the new-born King.
