264. Angels, from the Realms of Glory

1 Angels, from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
You 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 on earth is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant lLight. [Refrain]

3 Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations;
You have seen his morning star. [Refrain]

4 Though an infant now we view him,
He shall share his heavenly throne,
Gather all the nations to him;
Ev'ry knee shall then bow down. [Refrain]
