Angels from the Realms of Glory

1 Verse 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 new-born King.

2 Verse 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 Verse 3. Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations,
Ye have seen his natal star;

4 Verse 4. Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In his temple shall appear;
