Angels from the realms of glory

James Montgomery (1771-1854) wrote the lyrics to this popular carol.  He was the son of Scottish missionaries, and spent most of his working life as a journalist and editor.  He was associated with social reform movements, such as campaigns to end slavery and prevent children from working as chimney sweeps.

Two tunes are offered here; a traditional French tune, "Iris" and "Kensington New."
