The Australian Hymn Book
The Australian Hymn Book was published in 1977, and was the culmination of almost ten years' work by an ecumenical committee, chaired by A. Harold Wood, intent on producing a new, contemporary and inclusive hymn book that could be used in worship by the varied Christian congregations across Australia.
ANGELS, FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY
[1]
Angels, from the realms of glory,
wing your flight o'er all the earth;
you, who sang creation's story,
now proclaim Messiah's birth:
[Refrain]
come and worship
Christ, the newborn King,
come and worship
worship Christ, the newborn King.
[2]
Shepherds, in the field abiding,
watching o'er your flocks by night
God with man is now residing;
yonder shines the infant Light:
[Refrain]
[3]
Wise men, leave your contemplations,
brighter visions beam afar;
seek the great Desire of nations,
you have seen his natal star:
[Refrain]
[4]
Saints, before the altar bending,
watching long in hope and fear,
suddenly the Lord descending,
in his temple shall appear:
[Refrain]
