"Angels from the Realms of Glory" by James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Text From: THE LUTHERAN HANDBOOK TO THE HYMNAL (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1942)p.106 1. 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 new-born King. 2. Shepherds in the fields abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the Infant Light: Come and worship: Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. 3. 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 new-born King. 4. 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 new-born King. _______________________________________________________ Notes: Hymn #136 from _The Handbook to the Lutheran Hymnal_ Text: Matt 2:2 Author: James Montgomery, 1816, 1825, ab.
