Angels From The Realms Of
Glory
Luke 2:13-14 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of
the heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, And on
earth peace, goodwill toward men!"
Words: James Montgomery, in
Montgomery’s Sheffield newspaper, Iris, Christmas
Eve,1816. It was published again in Christian Psalmist, 1825. Stanza 5
is from The Christmas Box, 1825.
Music: “Regent Square,” Henry T. Smart,
in Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (London: 1867).
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.
Shepherds, in the field abiding,
Watching o’er your flocks by
night,
God with us is now residing;
Yonder shines the infant
light:
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn
King.
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.
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.
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.
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:
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn
King.
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.
Note:
In place of the verse “Sinners, wrung with true repentance…” some hymnals use
the following, written in 1855 by Isaac Gregory Smith:
Lord of Heaven, we
adore Thee,
God the Father, God the Son,
God the Spirit, One in
glory,
On the same eternal throne.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Lord of
Heaven, Three in One.
