Lyrics

Angel voic­es breath­ing ev­er,
Songs of praise to God on high,
Thro’ the gates of light and glo­ry,
Call us now from yo­der sky.

Refrain

Come and wor­ship, come and wor­ship,
Worship Christ our Lord and king;
Come and wor­ship, come and wor­ship,
Worship Christ our Lord and king.

O’er the love­ly realm of na­ture
By her spark­ling foun­tains clear,
Thro’ the for­est and the val­ley,
Still the ear­nest call we hear.

Refrain

When the morn­ing in its beau­ty
Wakes the earth from sleep pro­found,
In the mu­sic of the song bird
We can hear the grate­ful sound.

Refrain

In the whis­per of the twi­light,
When the ze­phyrs mur­mur low,
In the sigh­ing of the leaf­let,
We can hear wher­e’er we go.

Refrain

Come and wor­ship our cre­at­or,
Him whose mer­cy we ad­ore;
Come and wor­ship our Re­deem­er,
Sing and praise for­ev­er­more.
