G
Angels from the realms of glory,
C                G/B            D        G
wing your flight o'er all the earth;
G                                     D/F♯
ye who sang creation's story,
Em                        A           D
now proclaim Messiah's birth.

 

     Refrain    

     D/F#
    Come and worship,
    G/B
    come and worship,
     C                               D           G
    worship Christ the newborn King!


G
Shepherds in the field abiding,
C              G/B           D             G
watching o'er your flocks by night,
G                                     D/F♯
God with man is now residing,
Em                            A        D
yonder shines the infant light;

 

 

G

Sages, leave your contemplations,
C             G/B       D        G

Brighter visions beam afar;
G                                         D/F♯

Seek the great desire of nations,
Em                          A       D

Ye have seen His natal star;

 

 

G

Saints, before the altar bending,
C               G/B         D             G

Watching long in hope and fear;
G                                     D/F♯

Suddenly the Lord, descending,
Em                    A       D

In His temple shall appear.
