Birth of Christ · Hymn 276 · 8.7.8.7.4.7

Angels from the realms of glory

We have come to worship him. Matt. 2:2.

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,

Worship Christ, the new-born King.

2.

Shepherd in the field abiding,

Watching o’er your flocks by night,

God with man is now residing,

Yonder shines the infant light;

3.

Sages, leave your contemplations;

Brighter visions beam afar;

Seek the great Desire of nations;

Ye have seen His natal star;

4.

Saints, before the altar bending,

Watching long with hope and fear,

Suddenly the Lord, descending,

In His temple shall appear;

5.

All Creation, join in praising

God the Father, Spirit, Son Evermore your voices raising

To th’Eternal Three in One:

Amen
