Angels from the Realms of Glory

USA Tune

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,
Christ, the new-born King.[UK Tune only!]
Come and worship,
Worship Christ the new-born king

Shepherds in the field abiding,
Watching oe'r your flocks by night
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant light.

Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar.
Seek the great desire of nations,
Ye have seen His natal star.

Saints, before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear
Suddenly the Lord descending
In his Temple shall appear.

Words: James Montgomery, 1816.
