Angels from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o’er all the earth;
Ye who sang creations’ story,
Now proclaim Messiah’s birth.
Come and worship, come and worship;
worship Christ the newborn King!
Shepherds in the fields abiding,
Watching o’er your flocks by night;
God with man is now residing
Yonder shines the infant Light.
Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations,
Ye have seen His natal star.
Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear;
Suddenly the Lord, descending
In His temple shall appear.
All creation, join in praising,
God the Father, Spirit, Son;
Evermore your voices raising,
To th’eternal Three in One.
