Angels from the realms of glory by Anonymous — Lyrics
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 man [us] is now residing;
Yonder shines the infant light:
Refrain

About Angels from the realms of glory
This stirring SATB setting of the familiar Christmas carol Angels from the Realms of Glory is by an anonymous composer. The text, traditionally attributed to James Montgomery, draws together various figures from the Nativity story – angels, shepherds, and the wise men – calling them all to worship Christ the newborn King. The refrain, 'Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King', provides a powerful and unifying conclusion to each verse. This piece is well-suited for Christmas services, offering a grand and celebratory musical expression of the holiday.
