Angels from the realms of glory

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 newborn King.

Shepherds, in the field abiding,
Watching o’er your flocks by night,
God with us is now residing
Yonder shines the infant light:

Refrain

Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar
Seek the great Desire of nations
Ye have seen His natal star.

Refrain

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

Refrain

Sinners, wrung with true repentance,
Doomed for guilt to endless pains,
Justice now revokes the sentence,
Mercy calls you break your chains.

Refrain

Though an Infant now we view Him,
He shall fill His Father’s throne,
Gather all the nations to Him
Every knee shall then bow down:

Refrain

All creation, join in praising
God, the Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore your voices raising
To th’eternal Three in One.
