Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#190

190. 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 newborn King.

2 Shepherds, in the field abiding,
watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with us 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]
