Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: OIF2014 #379 (2015) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE Lyrics: 1 Angels from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
You who sang creation's story,
Now proclaim Messiah's birth:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
2 Shepherds in the fields abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with us is now residing;
Yonder shines the Infant Light:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
3 Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations,
You have seen his natal star:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
4 Though an infant now we view him,
He shall fill his Father's throne,
Gather all the nations to him;
Ev'ry knee shall then bow down:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
5 All creation, join in praising
God the Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore your voices raising
To th'eternal Three in One:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
