Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: VT2020 #265 (2020) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Angels, from the realms of glory,
wing your flight o’er all the earth.
As you sang creation’s story,
now proclaim Messiah’s birth;
come and worship, come and worship,
worship Christ, the newborn King.
2 Shepherds, in the field 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,
guided by his natal star;
come and worship, come and worship,
worship Christ, the newborn King.
4 Saints, before the altar bending,
watching long in hope and fear,
shall behold God's love unending:
Christ will once again appear;
come and worship, come and worship,
worship Christ, the newborn King. Topics: Jesus Christ Epiphany of; Jesus Christ Epiphany of Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE
