62. Angels, From the Realms of Glory

1 Angels, from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight over 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 fields abiding,
Watching over 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]
