Angels from the Realms of Glory =============================== w: James Montgomery, 1816 m: Henry T. Smart, 1867 Tune: Regent Square Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7. [Verse 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. [Verse 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] [Verse 3] Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great Desire of nations; Ye have seen His natal star. [Refrain] [Verse 4] Saints, before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear; Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear. [Refrain] [Verse 5] Sinners, wrung with true repentance, Doomed for guilt to endless pains, Justice now revokes the sentence, Mercy calls you; break your chains. [Refrain] [Verse 6] Though an Infant now we view Him, He shall fill His Father’s throne, Gather all the nations to Him; Every knee shall then bow down: [Refrain] [Verse 7] All creation, join in praising God, the Father, Spirit, Son, Evermore your voices raising To th’eternal Three in One. [Refrain]
