Angels From the Realms of Glory

By Hazel Holland


Although this impressionistic watercolor was originally part of a larger painting... "He's Coming With Clouds", the other day when I looked at it I was reminded of the words of an English Christmas carol... "Angels From the Realms of Glory" by James Montgomery, published in his Sheffield newspaper, the Iris, Christmas Eve, 1816.

"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..."

I think this art print would make a lovely Christmas card... perhaps even having this first verse of this Christmas carol printed inside of it.♥
