HYMN 5.

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 new-born King.

Shepherds, in the field abiding,
Watching o'er your flock by night;
God with man is now residing;
Yonder shines the infant light;
Come and worship—Come and worship,
Worship Christ the new-born King.

Saints, before the altar bending,
Waiting long with hope and fear;
Suddenly the Lord descending,
In His temple shall appear;
Come and worship—Come and worship,
Worship Christ the new-born King.

Sinners wrung with true repentance,
Doom'd for guilt to endless pains;
Justice now revokes the sentence,
Grace is given to break your chains;
Come and worship—Come and worship,
Worship Christ the new-born King.
