Angels, from the realms of glory

					8.7.4.

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.
	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 the infant light:
	Come and worship, 
	Worship Christ, the newborn King.

3	Sages, leave your contemplations,
	Brighter visions beam afar;
	Seek the great Desire of nations;
	Ye have seen His natal star.
	Come and worship,
	Worship Christ, the newborn King.

4	Saints, before the altar bending,
	Watching long in hope and fear;
	Suddenly the Lord, descending,
	In His temple shall appear.
	Come and worship, 
	Worship Christ, the newborn King!
