Christ in Song ‎#266

266. Come and Worship

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.

Chorus:
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 man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant light.

Chorus:
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 nation;
Ye have seen his natal star.

Chorus:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

4 Saints, before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord descending,
In His temple shall appear.

Chorus:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the coming King.
