Angels from the Realms of Glory (SATB – Holyoak)

Angels from the Realms of Glory – Kathleen Holyoak, arranger

The traditional 1816 anthem, “Angels From the Realms of Glory,” is a joyous opening title for any sacred Christmas devotional of church meeting.   This fast-paced arrangement is enhanced with an exciting organ accompaniment and will certainly thrill any audience.  Follow the words by James Montgomery as you listen:

Angels from the realms of glory,
Sing your flight o’er all the earth;
Ye who sang creation’s glory
Now proclaim Messiah’s birth.
Come and worship, come and worship;
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Shepherds in the fields abiding,
Watching o’er their flocks by night.
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant light.
Come and worship, come and worship;
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Bridge: Angels, Angels, Angels from the realms of glory!

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 newborn King.

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 newborn King.
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
Christ the Lord, our newborn King!
