Angels, From the Realms of Glory
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 Shepherds, in the field abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing; Yonder shines the Infant 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 Tho' an infant now we view Him, He will share His Father's throne; Gather all the nations to Him; Every knee shall then bow down: [Refrain]
