Authors: Montgomery, James, The Christmas Box, 1825
Angels from the realms of glory,
wing your flight through all the earth;
heralds of creation’s story
now proclaim Messiah’s birth!
Come and worship
Christ, the new-born King!
Come and worship,
worship Christ, the new-born King!
2. Shepherds in the fields abiding,
watching by your flocks at night,
God with man is now residing:
see, there shines the infant light!
3. Wise men, leave your contemplations!
Brighter visions gleam afar;
seek in him the hope of nations,
you have seen his rising star:
4. Sinners, brought to true repentance-
doomed, for guilt, to endless pains;
justice now revokes the sentence,
mercy calls you: break your chains!
5. Though an infant now we view him,
he will share his Father’s throne,
gather all the nations to him;
every knee shall then bow down:
