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:
