Angels, From the Realms of Glory

Hymns, 5


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:

Come and worship; Come and worship; Worship Christ, the newborn King.

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

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:

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:

Come and worship; Come and worship; Worship Christ, the newborn King.
