SA Song Book 75

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.
Chorus
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ the new-born King.

2.
Shepherds in the field abiding,
Watching o’er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing;
Yonder shines the infant light.

3.
Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In his temple shall appear.

4.
Sinners moved by true repentance,
Doomed for guilt to endless pains,
Justice now revokes the sentence,
Mercy calls you, break your chains.
