| Text: | Angels, from the realms of glory |

| Tune: | REGENT SQUARE |
| Composer: | Henry Thomas Smart, 1813-1879 |
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 newborn King.
2. Shepherds in the field abiding,
watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with you 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]
