Christmas carol written by Scottish poet James Montgomery. In the US this hymn is most commonly sung to the tune of Regent Square by Henry Smart. In the United Kingdom, however, the hymn is usually sung to the French carol tune Iris (the tune is used for Angels We Have Heard on High). Lyrics 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, come and worship Worship Christ, the newborn King. Shepherds, in the fields abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant light: Come and worship, come and worship Worship Christ, the newborn King. Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great Desire of nations, Ye have seen his natal star: Come and worship, come and worship Worship Christ, the newborn King. Sinners, wrung with true repentance, Doomed for guilt to endless pains, Justice now revokes the sentence, Mercy calls you—break your chains: Come and worship, come and worship Worship Christ, the newborn King. Though an infant now we view him, He shall fill his Father's throne, Gather all the nations to him; Every knee shall then bow down: Come and worship, come and worship Worship Christ, the newborn King. All creation, join in praising God the Father, Spirit, Son, Evermore your voices raising, To th'eternal Three in One: Come and worship, come and worship Worship Christ, the newborn King. |
