9. Angels from the realms of glory
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 new-born King!
2 Shepherds in the fields abiding, Watching o’er their flocks by night;
God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant light:
Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born 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 new-born 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 new-born King!
