Angels, from the Realms of Glory Lyrics and Tune

Stanza 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:

Refrain:

Come and worship,
Come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Stanza 2
Shepherds, in the fields abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant light:
[Refrain.]

Stanza 3
Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar,
Seek the great desire of nations,
Ye have seen His natal star:
[Refrain.]

Stanza 4
Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear:
[Refrain.]

Stanza 5
Sinners, wrung with true repentance,
Doomed for guilt to endless pains,
Justice now revokes the sentence,
Mercy calls you—break your chains:
[Refrain.]

Stanza 6
Though an infant now we view Him,
He shall fill His Father's throne,
Gather all the nations to Him;
Every knee shall then bow down:
[Refrain.]

Stanza 7
All creation, join in praising
God, the Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore your voices raising
To th'eternal Three in One:
[Refrain.]
