Angels, From the Realms of Glory

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

Gloria, in Excelsis Deo
Gloria, in Excelsis Deo

Shepherds, in the field abiding
Watching o'er your flocks by night
God with man is now residing
Yonder shines the infant light

Gloria, in Excelsis Deo
Gloria, in Excelsis Deo

Sages leave your contemplations
Brighter visions beam afar
Seek the great desire of nations
Ye has seen His natal star

Gloria, in Excelsis Deo
Gloria, in Excelsis Deo

Saints, before the altar bending
Watching long in hope and fear
Suddenly the Lord descending
In His temple shall appear

Though an infant, now we view Him
He shall fill His Father's throne
Gather all the nations to Him
Every knee shall then bow down

Gloria, in Excelsis Deo
Gloria, in Excelsis Deo

Gloria
