Angels from the realms of glory by Henry Thomas Smart — 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
Henry Thomas Smart's setting of Angels from the realms of glory is a stirring Christmas hymn for SATB choir. The English text joyfully proclaims the birth of Christ, inviting all to worship the newborn King. It calls upon angels to announce the news, shepherds to witness the event, wise men to follow the star, and saints to behold the divine presence. This familiar carol expresses the universal wonder and adoration inspired by the Nativity, making it a powerful addition to any Christmas service.
