Angels 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. Shepherds, in the field abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with us is now residing; Yonder shines the infant light: 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. Sinners, wrung with true repentance, Doomed for guilt to endless pains, Justice now revokes the sentence, Mercy calls you; break your chains. 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: All creation, join in praising God, the Father, Spirit, Son, Evermore your voices raising To th'eternal Three in One. Lord of Heaven, we adore Thee, God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit, One in glory, On the same eternal throne. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Lord of Heaven, Three in One.

Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Evermore His praises sing: Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the everlasting King. Praise Him for His grace and favor To our fathers in distress. Praise Him still the same as ever, Slow to chide, and swift to bless. Alleluia! Alleluia! Glorious in His faithfulness. Fatherlike He tends and spares us; Well our feeble frame He knows. In His hands He gently bears us, Rescues us from all our foes. Alleluia! Alleluia! Widely yet His mercy flows. Frail as summer’s flower we flourish, Blows the wind and it is gone; But while mortals rise and perish Our God lives unchanging on, Praise Him, praise Him, hallelujah Praise the high eternal One! Angels, help us to adore Him; Ye behold Him face to face; Sun and moon, bow down before Him, Dwellers all in time and space. Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace. Mel : Henry Thomas Smart 1867 [REGENT SQUARE] Text: Henry Francis Lyte 1834 "Praise, My Soul, The King Of Heaven" Web : http://www.liederschatz.net Christ is made the sure foundation, Christ the head and cornerstone; Chosen of the Lord, and precious, Binding all the Church in one, Holy Zion’s help forever, And her confidence alone. All that dedicated city, Dearly loved of God on high, In exultant jubilation, Pours perpetual melody, God the One in Three adoring In glad hymns eternally. To this temple, where we call Thee, Come, O Lord of Hosts, today; With Thy wonted lovingkindness Hear Thy servants as they pray. And Thy fullest benediction Shed within its walls alway. Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants What they ask of Thee to gain; What they gain from Thee forever With the blessèd to retain, And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign. Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son, Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One; Consubstantial, co-eternal, While unending ages run. Mel : Henry Thomas Smart 1867 [REGENT SQUARE] Text: John Mason Neale 1851 "Christ Is Made The Sure Foundation" Translation from Latin 7th Century Web : http://www.liederschatz.net Lo! He comes with clouds descending, Once for favored sinners slain; Thousand thousand saints attending, Swell the triumph of His train: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! God appears on earth to reign. Every eye shall now behold Him Robed in dreadful majesty; Those who set at naught and sold Him, Pierced and nailed Him to the tree, Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see. Every island, sea, and mountain, Heav’n and earth, shall flee away; All who hate Him must, confounded, Hear the trump proclaim the day: Come to judgment! Come to judgment! Come to judgment! Come to judgment! Come away! Now redemption, long expected, See in solemn pomp appear; All His saints, by man rejected, Now shall meet Him in the air: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! See the day of God appear! Answer Thine own bride and Spirit, Hasten, Lord, the general doom! The new Heav’n and earth t’inherit, Take Thy pining exiles home: All creation, all creation, all creation, Travails! groans! and bids Thee come! The dear tokens of His passion Still His dazzling body bears; Cause of endless exultation To His ransomed worshippers; With what rapture, with what rapture, with what rapture Gaze we on those glorious scars! Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne; Savior, take the power and glory, Claim the kingdom for Thine own; O come quickly! O come quickly! O come quickly! Everlasting God, come down! Mel : Henry Thomas Smart 1867 [REGENT SQUARE] Text: John Cennick 1752 "Lo!

Kreon laŭdis himnoj ĥoraj, himnu nun pri la Mesi': “Venu nun, adoru nun al Krist', la ĵus-naskita Reĝ'!” Paŝtistar' en kamp-deĵoro, kun la ŝafoj sub la lun', Ĉe l' homaro la Sinjoro loĝas — jen la beba Lum'; Magoj, lasu la kontemplon! Jen pli ilumina hel': Di' ĉe l' homoj faras templon. Vin algvidos lia stel'. Jen sanktuloj plu atendas ĉe l' altaro kun esper'. Di' subite ekdescendas inter homojn sur la ter'. Kvankam bebon jen ni vidas, sidos li sur Dia tron', Al si la naciojn gvidos, Dios super ĉiu hom'.
