"Angels From The Realms Of Glory" is a Christmas carol originally written by James Montgomery in 1816. Sara Groves, an American singer-songwriter, has also recorded her own version of this traditional hymn. The lyrics describe the angels from heaven coming to earth to proclaim the birth of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. They invite everyone to come and worship the newborn King. The first verse acknowledges the angels' involvement in creation and how they now announce the arrival of the Savior. The second verse addresses the shepherds who were watchfully guarding their flocks in the fields at night. It highlights the miraculous event of God dwelling among mankind in the form of an infant, represented by the shining light. The third verse speaks to the wise men or sages who have been contemplating and seeking something greater, led by a guiding star. They are urged to come and worship the Desire of nations, referring to Jesus, who is the fulfillment of all hopes and desires. As a whole, the song captures the awe and wonder of the Christmas story, inviting everyone to join in worshiping and celebrating the birth of Jesus. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing Jesus as the Savior and the King, and the joy that his arrival brings.
