 G
Angels, from the realms of glory,
 C          G         D7        G
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
 G                       B7
Ye who sang creation's story,
 Em  B7  Em     D   A    D
Now proclaim Messiah's birth:

chorus:
   D                 G7       C
  Come and worship, Come and worship,
   Am            Em  Dsus D   G
  Worship Christ the newborn King!

Shepherds, in the fields abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with us is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant Light:
(chorus)

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

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