wing your flight o'er all the earth;
ye who sang creation's story
now proclaim Messiah's birth:
Refrain:
Come and worship, come and worship,
worship Christ, the newborn king.
2. Shepherds, in the field abiding,
watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with us is now residing;
yonder shines the infant light: [Refrain]
3. Sages, leave your contemplations,
brighter visions beam afar;
seek the great Desire of nations;
ye have seen his natal star: [Refrain]

The hymn "Angels from the Realms of Glory" was written in 1816 by James Montgomery, a Scottish hymn writer and poet. The hymn was first published in the "Songs of Praise" collection in 1816, though it was likely written a bit earlier. Montgomery was inspired by the Christmas story and the angelic proclamation of Jesus' birth.
The hymn has since become a beloved Christmas carol, with its lyrics focusing on the role of angels in announcing the birth of Christ and inviting people from all walks of life to worship Him.
