"Angels from the Realms of Glory" is a Christmas carol written by Scottish poet and hymnwriter James Montgomery[1] as a loose translation of the old French hymn Les Anges dans nos campagnes.
[1] Before 1928, the hymn was sung to a variety of tunes, including "Regent Square" by Henry Smart, "Lewes" by John Randall, and "Wildersmouth" or "Feniton Court" by Edward Hopkins.
Sometimes the original "Gloria in excelsis Deo" refrain from the French carol is sung in place of Montgomery's lyric: "Come and worship Christ the new-born King".
[4] 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:
Ils annoncent la naissance Du libérateur d'Israël, Et, pleins de reconnaissance, Chantent en ce jour solennel: Refrain[2]
