Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: RitualSong #508 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Lyrics: 1 Angels from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
You who sang creation's story,
Now proclaim Messiah's birth:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
2 Shepherds, in the fields abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God on earth is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant light:
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 nations,
You have seen his morning star:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
4 Though an infant now we view him,
He shall fill his heav'nly throne,
Gather all the nations to him;
Ev'ry knee shall then bow down:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King. Topics: Angels; Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE
