HYMN 136 Angels from the Realms of Glory
1Angels 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.
2Shepherds in the fields abiding, Watching o’er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the Infant Light:
Come and worship, Come and worship;
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
3Sages, 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.
4Saints before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His Temple shall appear:
Come and worship, Come and worship;
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
Pastor: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and Love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all.
Congr: Amen.

1Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King;
Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room And heav’n and nature sing,…
2Joy to the earth, The Savior reigns! Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy, …
3No more let sins and sorrows grow Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found, …
4He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love, …
