Angels, From The Realms of Glory

Capo 3rd fret

Hebrews 1:6

G D G
Angels, from the realms of glory,
C G D G
Wing your flight o’er all the earth.
G D Em D
Ye who sang creation’s story,
Em DA D
Now proclaim Messiah’s birth.

Chorus:
D G C
Come and worship, come and worship,
AmC D G
Worship Christ, the new-born King.

Shepherds, in the fields abiding,

Watching o’er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing;
Yonder shines the Infant light.

Sages, leave your contemplations;

Brighter visions beam afar.
See the great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen His natal star.

Saints before the altar bending,

Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear.
Words by James Montgomery, 1816/Music by Henry T. Smart, 1867
