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!

Gloria, in excelsis Deo,
Gloria, in excelsis Deo.

Shepherds, in the field abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night;
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the Infant Light.

Sages leave your contemplations:
Brighter visions beam a-far.
Seek the Great Desire of Nations:
Ye have seen His natal star.

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

Though an Infant now we view Him,
He shall fill His Father's throne.
Gather all the nations to Him;
Ev'ry knee shall then bow down.
