ANGELS, FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY - by James Montgomery, 1819 -

              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.
    
              Shepherds, in the field abiding,
              Watching o'er your flocks by night,
              God with man is now residing;
              Yonder shines the infant light.
    
              Sages leave your contemplations,
              Brighter visions beam afar;
              Seek the great Desire of nations,
              Ye have seen His natal star.
              Saints, before the altar bending,
              Watching long in hope and fear,
              Suddenly the Lord descending,
              In His temple shall appear.
    
                      Come and worship, come and worship,
                      Worship Christ, the new-born King.
                                  Amen.

(1) ORIGINAL MIDI HYMNS, SONGS, AND ADAPTATIONS

This is the home for my original MIDI compositions and adaptations.

Most of these are optimized for General MIDI synthesizer, and arranged in four-part harmony with instrumentation suitable for choir and congregation. The style (for most of these) is simple and durable, trying to follow the example set by Lowell Mason, the great 19th century composer/arranger.

For some of these, there is a MIDI file, lyrics, and documentation, all compressed into one .ZIP file for each hymn. Also, the MIDI files and lyrics are available separately. Some also have the MIDI file encoded on the same page as the lyrics.

Christmas Carols

Here are four of my favorites, located at this website. Printed words and music for these songs, and hundreds more, are available in MY FAVORITE HYMNAL (please click HERE!)

This is a plea from earlier Christians for a better life in heaven than they had here on earth. I selected the most powerful verses from this long text, and added new music of my own.

The English words are more than 400 years old, but they are as clear and plaintive as if they were written yesterday. The English words are based on the words of St. Augustine, another 1,200 years earlier.

(2) OTHER MIDI HYMNS AROUND THE INTERNET

Here Are Some of My Favorites

I selected a few of my favorite hymns, with performance-quality MIDI files, in the Public Domain, from various places around the Internet; then copied the MIDI files without major change, reformatted the words, and made new HTML pages.

My Lord, What A Morning
Shall We Gather At The River?
Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind
Christ The Lord Is Risen Today
Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Is Not This The Land Of Beulah? (I wrote the MIDI sequence on this one.)

Next, you can visit these two, which both have an excellent selection of MIDI hymns with related lyrics.

HymnSite.com and The Cyber Hymnal

This one is the best I have found for MIDI hymn tunes unrelated to their lyrics. It is really outstandsing!
