Lyrics Angels, from the Realms of Glory - The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, Orchestra at Temple Square, Renée Fleming

Angels, from the Realms of Glory

Shepherds, in the fields abiding
Watching o’er your flocks by night
God with man is now residing
Gloria in excelsis deo 1
Gloria in excelsis deo
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:
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:
