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:
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:
Come and worship, come and worship,
worship Christ, the newborn King.
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.
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.
5 Sinners, wrung with true repentance,
doomed for guilt to endless pains,
justice now revokes the sentence,
mercy calls you; break your chains.
Come and worship, come and worship,
worship Christ, the newborn King.
6 All creation, join in praising
God the Father, Spirit, Son;
evermore your voices raising
to th'eternal Three in One:
Come and worship, come and worship,
worship Christ, the newborn King.
