Angels from the realms of glory, 
Wing your flight o'er all the earth 
Ye who sang creations story, 
Now proclaim messiah's birth 
 [bad word] and [bad word] and worship, 
Worship Christ the new-born king 

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

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

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