Angels, from the Realms of Glory

Lyrics by: James Montgomery (1821)
Music by: Henry Smart (1867)
Tune: REGENT SQUARE · 8.7.8.7.8.7
Scripture: Luke 2:13-14

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

Shepherds, in the field 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.

Verse 3

Sages, 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.

Verse 4

Saints, 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.
