Angels From The Realms Of Glory (Arr. For Choir & Orchestra By Mack Wilberg)

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 have 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 Deo!
