428. COME AND WORSHIP


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, Come and… Come and worship
Come and… Come and worship
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born king (Repeat)

Shepherds in the field abiding,
Watching o'er their flocks by night,
God with man is now residing;
Yonder shines the infant Light:

Sages, leaves your contemplations;
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of Nations;
Ye have seen His natal star:

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

Through 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
