Alternate Tunes

| 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.
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
3. Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen His natal star.
Refrain.
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
4. Saints, before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear;
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear.
Refrain.
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
5. Sinners, wrung with true repentance,
Doomed for guilt to endless pains,
Justice now revokes the sentence,
Mercy calls you; break your chains.
Refrain.
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
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.
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
7. All creation, join in praising
God, the Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore your voices raising
To th’eternal Three in One.
Refrain.
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
