Angels from the realms of glory by Edward Vine Hall — 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
Edward Vine Hall’s setting of Angels from the Realms of Glory opens with a jubilant choral declaration, an invitation to join the angelic host in proclaiming the birth of Christ. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic colour and dynamic contrast, mirroring the unfolding narrative of the text. The music moves with a sense of awe and mounting excitement as it describes the shepherds, the wise men following the star, and the anticipation of the saints. This anthem vividly captures the wonder and majesty of the Nativity, building towards a powerful conclusion that calls for unified worship of the newborn King.
