The Joy of Christmas: Angels from the Realms of Glory

Last year in the time between Christmas and New Year's I shared some of my favorite Christmas songs. This year in the same vein, between now and Epiphany, here are some carols you may know - and maybe some you don't: carols that we might not sing as often during our worship services.

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: Come and worship, come and worship, worship Christ, the newborn king.

Shepherds, in the field abiding, watching o'er your flocks by night, God with us is now residing; yonder shines the infant light:

Come and worship, come and worship, worship Christ, the newborn king.

Sages, leave your contemplations, brighter visions beam afar; seek the great Desire of nations; ye have seen his natal star:

Come and worship, come and worship, worship Christ, the newborn king.
