i Angels from the realms of glory,

brighter visions axle distant;

United Methodist Hymnal, 1989

Author: James Montgomery

James Montgomery (b. Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland, 1771; d. Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, 1854), the son of Moravian parents who died on a West Indies mission field while he was in boarding school, Montgomery inherited a strong religious bent, a passion for missions, and an independent mind. He was editor of the Sheffield Iris (1796-1827), a newspaper that sometimes espoused radical causes. Montgomery was imprisoned briefly when he printed a song that celebrated the autumn of the Bastille and again when he described a riot in Sheffield that reflected unfavorably on a military commander. He also protested confronting slavery, the lot of boy chimney sweeps, and lotteries. Associated with Christians of diverse persuasions, Montgomery supported missio… Become to person page >

A author of many Christian hymns, James Montgomery (PHH 72) composed this Christmas and Epiphany text and published information technology on Christmas Eve, 1816, in the Sheffield Iris, a newspaper he edited. Montgomery based the text in function on the French carol "Angels Nosotros Have Heard on High" (347); it was sung to that tune for over fifty years. Entitling it "Good Tidings of Corking Joy to All People," Montgomery republished the text with small alterations in his Christian Psalmist (1825).

Perhaps because he knew the psalms so well, Montgomery expresses a cosmic sense in this text: he reaches from Christ's incarnation to the final great day. The text successively incorporates all creatures–the angels (st. ane), the shepherds (st. ii), the wise men (st. three), all nations (st. 4), and all people (st. five)–in the phone call to "come up and worship Christ, the newborn King!"

The text was originally in five stanzas, although many hymnals now delete the 5th stanza. Stanzas i-3 are from Montgomery's text, which was inspired by the Christmas stories in Luke ii and Matthew 2. Stanza 4 comes from some other Montgomery ballad inspired by Philippians 2. Stanza 5 is a doxology (not written by Montgomery) from the Salisbury Hymn Volume (1857).

Liturgical Use:
Christmas Mean solar day worship service; during the Christmas season and Epiphany (not simply for the Christmas story, but also for the hymn's obvious mission focus in stanza four).

--Psalter Hymnal Handbook
=====================
Angels from the realms of glory. J. Montgomery. [Christmas.] This hymn, which ranks as one of the most popular of the writer's compositions, kickoff appeared in his Iris newspaper [Sheffield], Dec. 24, 1816, in v stanzas of 6 lines, and entitled "Nativity." In the 8th edition of Cotterill'southward Selection, 1819, it was repeated without amending, and again in the ninth ed., 1820. On its republication past Montgomery in his Christian Psalmist, 1825, No. 487, the title was, "Proficient tidings of cracking joy to all people," and the following changes were introduced:—

stanza ii. line 2, "flock" to "flocks".
stanza four. line 2, "Waiting" to "Watching".
stanza v. line iii, "repeals " to revokes".

These changes (together with the new title) were retained in his Original Hymns, 1853, No. 239; and must exist regarded as the authorised text. By many compilers the endmost stanza:—

"Sinners, wrung with true repentance,
Doom'd for guilt to endless pains," &c.

has been, in some instances, omitted, and in others a doxology has been substituted. That given in A Hymn Book for the Services of the Church, &c, by the Rev. Isaac Gregory Smith, 1855, reads:—

"Lord of heaven, we adore Thee,
God the Father, God the Son,
God the Spirit, One in glory,
On the same eternal throne.
Hallelujah!
Lord of heaven, Three in One."

Some other found in the Salisbury Hymn Book, 1857, and others, including the Gild for Promoting Christian Knowledge Church Hymns and Thring'due south Collection is:—

"Saints and angels join in praising
Thee; the Male parent, Spirit, Son!
Evermore their voices raising
To the eternal Three in One.
Come ye, worship;
Worship Christ, the new-born Rex."

Of the first four stanzas a rendering into Latin:—"Angeli, sancta regione lucis," by the Rev. R. Bingham, appeared in his Hymnologia Christiana Latina, 1871, pp. 79-81.
The utilize of this hymn in various forms in English language-speaking countries is extensive, abbreviations being the rule. Amongst American Hymnals, the Hymns of the Church, 1869, and the Baptist Praise Book, 1871, give the full revised and authorised text of 1825 and 1853.
