::''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.
 
:Refrain:
:Come and worship, come and worship,
:Worship Christ, the newborn King.
 
::''2.''
:Shepherds, in the field abiding,
:Watching o’er your flocks by night,
:God with us is now residing;
:Yonder shines the infant light:
:Refrain
 
::''3.''
:Sages, leave your contemplations,
:Brighter visions beam afar;
:Seek the great Desire of nations;
:Ye have seen His natal star.
:Refrain
 
::''4.''
:Saints, before the altar bending,
:Watching long in hope and fear;
:Suddenly the Lord, descending,
:In His temple shall appear.
:Refrain
 
::''5.''
:Sinners, wrung with true repentance,
:Doomed for guilt to endless pains,
:Justice now revokes the sentence,
:Mercy calls you; break your chains.
:Refrain
 
:''5 - Alt.''
:Lord of Heaven, we adore Thee,
:God the Father, God the Son,
:God the Spirit, One in glory,
:On the same eternal throne.
:Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
:Lord of Heaven, Three in One.
:Refrain
 
::''6.''
:Though 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:
:Refrain
 
::''7.''
:All creation, join in praising
:God, the Father, Spirit, Son,
:Evermore your voices raising
:To th’eternal Three in One.
:Refrain
