27. 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 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 heavenly light:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.

3 Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations,
Ye have seen His natal star:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.

4 Saints, before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord descending,
In His temple shall appear:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.

5 Saints and angels join in praising
Thee, the Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore their voices raising
To the Eternal Three in One:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.

Amen.
