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: 

Refrain:
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: 
(Refrain)

3. Sages, leave your contemplations, 
brighter visions beam afar; 
seek the great Desire of Nations; 
ye have seen his natal star: 
(Refrain) 

4. Saints, before the altar bending, 
watching long in hope and fear,
suddenly the Lord, descending, 
in his temple shall appear: 
(Refrain)
