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.
2 Shepherds, in the fields abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant 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 in humble prayer are bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear. [Refrain]
