274. 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 )
