angels from the realms

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

Christ, the new-born King.

Come and worship

Worship Christ, the new-born King.




Shepherds, in the field abiding,

Watching o'er your flocks by night,

God with man is now residing,

Yonder shines the infant-light:




Sages, leave your contemplations,

Brighter visions beam afar;

Seek the great desire of nations,

Ye have seen His natal star:




Saints, before the altar bending,

Watching long in hope and fear,

Suddenly the Lord descending

In His temple shall appear
