Angels From the Realms of Glory
Words: James Montgomery
("Lord of Heaven, we adore
Thee" verse by Isaac Gregory Smith)
Music:
"Regent Square" by Henry T. Smart
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.
Refrain
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:
Refrain
Sages, leave
your contemplations,
Brighter
visions beam afar;
Seek the
great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen
His natal star.
Refrain
Saints,
before the altar bending,
Watching
long in hope and fear;
Suddenly the
Lord, descending,
In His
temple shall appear.
Refrain
Sinners,
wrung with true repentance,
Doomed for
guilt to endless pains,
Justice now
revokes the sentence,
Mercy calls
you; break your chains.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
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:
Refrain
All
creation, join in praising
God, the
Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore
your voices raising
To
th'eternal Three in One.
