Angels, From the Realms of Glory

Shepherds, in the fields abiding
Watching o'er your flocks by night
God with man is now residing

[Chorus:]
Gloria in excelsis deo 1
Gloria in excelsis deo
Sages, leave your contemplations
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great desire of nations
Ye have seen His natal star;

[Chorus]
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:

[Chorus]
