Angels from the realms of glory by Joseph Barnby — 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 a familiar Christmas hymn uses its English text to proclaim the joy of Messiah’s birth. The words call upon angels, shepherds, wise men, and saints to gather and worship the newborn King, painting a scene of universal celebration across heaven and earth. Joseph Barnby’s music is a noble and accessible setting, ideal for congregational participation, offering a rich and resonant choral sound that effectively conveys the devotional spirit and triumphant message of the season.
