50. Angels from the Realms of Glory

1 Angels from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
Once you sang creation's story;
Now proclaim Messiah's birth:

Refrain:
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.

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,
You have seen his natal star. [Refrain]

4 All creation, join in praising
God the Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore your voices raising
To th'eternal Three in One. [Refrain]
