126. Angels, from the Realms of Glory

1 Angels, from the realms of glory,
wing your flight o’er all the earth;
As you sang creation’s story,
now proclaim Messiah’s birth:

Refrain:
Come and worship, come and worship,
worship Christ, give thanks and sing.

2 Shepherds, in the fields 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,
guided by Christ's natal star: [Refrain]

4 Saints, before the altar bending,
watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly, our prayers attending,
Christ beside you shall appear. [Refrain]
