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
