Christmas Trivia Quiz III
Answer 11


Many of us are quite familiar with the first verses of the traditional Christmas carols, but how well do you know the rest of the lyrics?  For instance, what is the first line of the second verse of Angels from the Realms of Glory?

B) "Shepherds in the fields abiding"

The other suggested lines come from (a) Hark, the Herald Angels Sing, (c) Angels We Have Heard On High and (d) Deck the Halls.  The words to Angels from the Realms of Glory were written by Scottish journalist and poet James Montgomery (1771-1854).  Montgomery was an advocate of parliamentary reform and a prolific writer.  About 100 of his hymns are still in use.
