Author: James Montgomery, 1771-8154 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 764 hymnals Scripture: John 1:4-14 Lyrics: 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 His 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]

God the Father, Spirit, Son.
Evermore your voices raising
To the eternal Three in One. [Refrain] Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE Text Sources: Salisbury Hymn Book, Salisbury, 1857 (St. 5, alt.)

Angels We Have Heard on High
As stars adorn the night-veiled sky
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: John 1:8 Lyrics: 1 As stars adorn the night-veiled sky,
arrayed like jewels rare and bright,
so shine God's saints in every age
to give the world new hop, new light.
2 The light saints bear is not their own
but shines through them as gift and sign:
to show how God can use and bless
frail human means for ends divine.
Through saints we glimpse the light of Christ,
the Morning Star that crowns the night,
whose rising heralds God's new day,
the promised dawn of life and light.
4 That light is ours to claim and share,
not merely praise or gaze upon:
for all who are baptized become
light-bearers through the Risen One.
5 The saints inspire and challenge us
our holy calling to embrace:
to bear Christ's light in our own day,
to be the vessels of God's grace. Topics: The Church Celebrates Oneness with the Church in Heaven; Communion of Saints; Jesus Names and images for; Light Used With Tune: WAREHAM

At the dawning of salvation
Author: Jock Curle, 1919- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1-9 Lyrics: 1 At the dawning of salvation;
in the morning of the world,
Christ is raised, a living banner
by the love of God unfurled,
Through the daylight, through the darkness,
Christ leads on his great array:
all the saints and all the sinners
he has gathered on his way.
2 He is risen in the morning,
he is risen from the dead;
he is laughter after sadness,
he is light when night has fled.
He has suffered, he has triumphed,
life is his alone to give:
as he gave it once he gives it
evermore, that we may live.
3 For the glory of salvation
in the dawn of Easter day
we will praise you, loving Father;
we rejoice to sing and pray
with the Son and with the Spirit
Lead us on, your great array,
saints and siners celebrating
your triumphant love today. Topics: Celebration of Faith; Communion of Saints; Easter; God's Love to Us; Jesus Christ Resurrection; Joy; Light; New Life in Christ; People of God; Resurrection; Saints Days and Holy Days Any Saint; Salvation; Sunday Used With Tune: NETTLETON

we are gathered all to hear you;
let our hearts and minds be stirred
now to seek and love and fear you;
by your gospel pure and holy,
teach us, Lord, to love you solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense and sight
lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
till your Spirit breaks our night
with your beams of truth unclouded;
you alone to God can win us,
only you work good within us.
3 Glorious Lord, yourself impart,
light of light from God proceeding;
open lips and ears and heart,
help us by your Spirit's leading;.
hear the cry your church now raises;
Lord, accept our prayers and praises.
