Worship the new-born Saviour.
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,- Worship Christ, the new-born king. 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. 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.
4. 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. 5. 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.
Great Jehovah! we adore thee,
God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit, join'd in glory On the same eternal throne: Endless praises
To Jehovah, Three in one.
