Angels, From the Realms of Glory
Religious Music · Other Songs - Religious Music
Wing your flight o'er all the earth
Ye who sang creation's story
Now proclaim Messiah's birth.
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
Shepherds in the field abiding
Watching o'er your flocks by night
God with man is now residing
Yonder shines the infant Light.
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
Sages, leave your contemplations
Brighter visions beam afar
Seek the great Desire of nations
Ye have seen his natal star.
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
Saints before the altar bending
Watching long in hope and fear
Suddenly the Lord, descending
In his temple shall appear.
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
Though an infant now we view him
He shall fill his Father's throne
Gather all nations to him
Every knee shall then bow down.
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King...
