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 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 heavenly 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]
Amen. Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE
