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.
2 Shepherds, in the field abiding,
  
watching o'er your flocks by night,
  
God with us is now residing;
  
yonder shines the infant light: [Refrain]
3 Sages, leave your contemplations,
  
brighter visions beam afar;
  
seek the great Desire of nations;
  
ye have seen his natal star: [Refrain]
4 Saints, before the altar bending,
  
Watching lon in hope and fear,
  
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
  
In His temple shall appear: [Refrain]
                        
James Montgomery
