Maddy Prior And The Carnival Band - Angels from the Realms of Glory lyrics

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 Shepherds, in the fields abiding Watching o'er your flocks by night God with man is now residing Yonder shines the infant light Gloria in Excelsis Deo Sages, leave your contemplations Brighter visions beam afar Seek the great Desire of nations Ye have seen his natal star Gloria in Excelsis Deo Saints before the altar bending Watching long in hope and fear Suddеnly the Lord descending In his tеmple shall appear Gloria in Excelsis Deo Though an infant, now we knew him He shall fill his father's throne Gather all the nations to him Everyone shall him bow down Gloria in Excelsis Deo
