|
<p>Angels from the realms of glory,<br>
|
|
Wing your flight o’er all the earth;<br>
|
|
Ye who sang creation’s story<br>
|
|
Now proclaim Messiah’s birth.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Come and worship, come and worship<br>
|
|
Worship Christ, the newborn King.</p>
|
|
<p>Shepherds, in the field abiding,<br>
|
|
Watching o’er your flocks by night,<br>
|
|
God with us is now residing;<br>
|
|
Yonder shines the infant light:</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Sages, leave your contemplations,<br>
|
|
Brighter visions beam afar;<br>
|
|
Seek the great Desire of nations;<br>
|
|
Ye have seen His natal star.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Saints, before the altar bending,<br>
|
|
Watching long in hope and fear;<br>
|
|
Suddenly the Lord, descending,<br>
|
|
In His temple shall appear.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Sinners, wrung with true repentance,<br>
|
|
Doomed for guilt to endless pains,<br>
|
|
Justice now revokes the sentence,<br>
|
|
Mercy calls you, break your chains.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Though an Infant now we view Him,<br>
|
|
He shall fill His Father’s throne,<br>
|
|
Gather all the nations to Him;<br>
|
|
Every knee shall then bow down:</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>All creation, join in praising<br>
|
|
God, the Father, Spirit, Son,<br>
|
|
Evermore your voices raising<br>
|
|
To th’eternal Three in One.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>

<p><em>Note:</em> In place of the verse “Sinners, wrung with true repentance…” some hymnals use the following, written in 1855 by Isaac Gregory Smith:</p>
|
|
<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>Lord of Heaven, we adore Thee,<br>
|
|
God the Father, God the Son,<br>
|
|
God the Spirit, One in glory,<br>
|
|
On the same eternal throne.<br>
|
|
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!<br>
|
|
Lord of Heaven, Three in One.</p>
