Hymns of the Lutheran Church

80 Angels from the Realms of Glory

1 Angels from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o'er all the earth; Once you sang creation's story; Now proclaim Messiah's birth. Refrain: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King. 2 Shepherds, in the fields abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with us is now residing, Yonder shines the infant light. [Refrain] 3 Magi, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar. Seek the great desire of nations; You have seen the Savior's star. [Refrain] 4 Saints before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord, descending, In his temple shall appear. [Refrain]
