wing your flight o'er all the earth;
once you sang creation's story,
now proclaim Messiah's birth:
Refrain:
Come and worship, come and worship,
worship Christ, the new-born 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. [Refrain]
3 Sages, leave your contemplations,
brighter visions beam afar;
seek the great Desire of nations,
you have seen his natal star. [Refrain]

God, the Father, Spirit, Son,
evermore your voices raising
to the eternal Three in One. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas; Christmas; Epiphany, Time After Epiphany Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE Text Sources: Salisbury Hymn Book, 1857, st. 4
