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:
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
Once you sang creation's story;
Now proclaim Messiah's birth:

Shepherds, in the fields abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with us is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant Light. [Refrain]
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with us is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant Light. [Refrain]

Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great desire of nations,
You have seen his natal star. [Refrain]
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great desire of nations,
You have seen his natal star. [Refrain]

All creation, join in praising
God, the Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore your voices raising
To the eternal Three in One. [Refrain]
