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;
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 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,
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]
5 Though an infant now we view him
he will share his Father's throne,
gather all the nations to him;
every knee shall then bow down. [Refrain]
