Text: | Angels, from the Realms of Glory |
Author: | James Montgomery |
Tune: | REGENT SQUARE |
Composer: | Henry T. Smart |
1 Angels, from the realms of glory,
wing your flight o'er all the earth;
you who sang creation's story,
now proclaim Messiah's birth:
Refrain:
Come and worship, come and worship,
worship Christ, the new-born King.
2 Shepherds in the field abiding,
watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with us is now residing,
yonder shines the infant light: [Refrain]
3 Sages, leave your contemplations
brighter visions beam afar;
seek the great Desire of nations;
you have seen the natal star: [Refrain]
4 Saints before the altar bending,
watching long in hope and fear,
suddenly the Lord, descending,
here among us shall appear: [Refrain]
