Angels from the Realms of Glory

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

Glo-o-o-o-o
O-o-o-o-o
O-o-o-o-o-oria,
In Excelsius Deo
Gloria,
In Excelsius 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 Excelsius Deo
Gloria,
In Excelsius Deo

Sages, leave your contemplations
Brighter visions beam afar
Seek the great Desire of nations
Ye have seen his natal star

Gloria,
In Excelsius Deo
Gloria,
In Excelsius Deo

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

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

Gloria,
In Excelsius Deo
Gloria,
In Excelsius Deo

Gloria
