Text: | Angels From The Realms Of Glory |
Author: | James Montgomery |
Tune: | REGENT SQUARE |
Composer: | Henry Smart |
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:
Refrain:
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King. A-men.
2 Shepherds, in the field abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night;
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the heav'nly light: [Refrain]
3 Sages, leave your contemplations;
Brighter visions beam afar.
Seek the great Desire of nations;
Ye 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]
Amen.
