Angels from Their Home in Glory

Angels from their home in glo­ry

Gladly flew

glad­ly flew;

Flew to tell the joy­ful sto­ry

Christ is born to­day for you:

Holy an­gels

ho­ly an­gels

We would come and wor­ship

too!

With the won­drous star for guid­ing

Bright and fair

bright and fair

Wise men found on earth abid­ing

Christ

of all things king and heir;

Happy wise men

hap­py wise men

In your wor­ship we would share.

May we find whom an­cient sag­es

Once ad­ored

once ad­ored?

All the Sav­ior’s love en­gag­es

Surest guid­ance to af­ford;

Blessèd day star

bless­èd day star

Lead us on­ward to the Lord.

Patient Si­me­on

old and hoa­ry

Waiting long

wait­ing long

Found at last the Lord of glo­ry

Then be­fore the won­der­ing throng

Gladly blessed Him

glad­ly blessed Him;

Blessed the Lord in thank­ful song.

Lo

to us be­fore our seek­ing

Christ ap­pears

Christ ap­pears;

Words of love and mer­cy speak­ing

Gives us hope

for­bids our fears;

And with bless­ings

and with bless­ings

Fills our hap­py

youth­ful years.

May we

while our hearts are ten­der

All agree

all agree

Love and praise

O Lord

to ren­der

Thro’ our earth­ly lives to Thee?

Then to glo­ry

then to glo­ry

Bring us

Thy blest face to see.
