James Montgomery (1771-1854).
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, Worship Christ, the new-born king.
Shepherds, in the field 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; Seek 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;
Sinners, wrung with true repentance, Doomed for guilt to endless pains. Justice now revokes the sentence; Mercy calls you, break your chains; Come and worship,Worship Christ, the new-horn king.
