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:

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 on earth is now residing;
Yonder shines the infant light:

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

4.
Though an infant now we view him,
He shall fill his Father’s throne,
Gather all the nations to him;
Ev’ry knee shall then bow down.

5.
All creation, join in praising
God, the father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore your voices raising,
To the eternal Three in One:

For All The Saints

1.
For all the saints,
Who from their labors rest,
Who you by faith
Before the world confessed,
Your name, O Jesus,
Be forever blest.

ALLELUIA!
ALLELUIA!

2.
O blest communion,
Fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle,
They in glory sine;
Yet all are one
Within your great design.

3.
The golden evening
Brightens in the west:
Soon to they loyal
Faithful comes their rest:
Sweet is the calm
Of Paradise so blest.

4.
But lo! There breaks
A yet more glorious day;
The saints triumphant
Rise in bright array;
The King of Glory
Passes on his way.

5.
From earth’s wide bounds,
From ocean’s farthest coast,
Through gates of heav’n
Streams in the countless host;
Singing to Father,
Son and Holy Ghost.
