Worship the new-born Saviour.

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:
Come and worship,-
Worship Christ, the new-born 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:
Come and worship,-
Worship Christ, the new-born king.
3. Sages, leave your contemplations,-
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen his natal star:

Come and worship,

Worship Christ, the new-born king.

4. Saints, before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In his temple shall appear:
Come and worship,-

Worship Christ, the new-born king.
5. Sinners, wrung with true repentance,
Doom'd for guilt to endless pains,
Justice now revokes the sentence,-
Mercy calls you,-break your chains:
Come and worship,-

Worship Christ, the new-born king.

367. Doxology.

Great Jehovah! we adore thee,

God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit, join'd in glory On the same eternal throne: Endless praises

To Jehovah, Three in one.
