Angels From the Realms of Glory

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be fore all the people. Today in the town of David a saviour has been born to you. He is Christ, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favour rests." When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." (Luke 2:8-15)

"Angels from the realms of glory" is a well known Christmas carol

Lyrics

Lyrics Angels from the realms of glory Wing your flight over 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 over 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 Sages, leave your contemplation Brighter visions beam afar Seek the great desire of nations We have seen his natal star Come and worship, come and worship Worship Christ the newborn king
