Two Celebrated Verses by Sternhold and Hopkins set to Music

Hymnal: UACC1761 #125 (1761) First Line: The Lord descended from above Lyrics: The Lord descended from above, and bowed the heavens most high, bowed the heavens most high and underneath his feet he cast the darkness, the darkness of the sky. The Lord descended from above and bowed the heavens most high, bowed the heavens most high, and underneath his feat he cast the darkness, the darkness of the sky. On cherubs & on cherubims full royally he rode, on cherubs and on cherubims full royally he rode, he rode, on cherubs and on cherubims full royally he rode, and on the wings of mighty winds came flying all abroad, on the wings of mighty winds, on cherubs and on cherubims full royally he rode, and on the wings of mighty winds came flying all abroad.

The spacious firmament on high

Hymnal: UACC1761 #184 (1761) Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame Their great original proclaim. Th' unearied sun from day to day Does his creators pow'r display And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand, The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale And nightly to the listning earth, Reveals the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they rowl, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all, Move round the dark terrestrial ball, What tho' nor real voice nor sound, Amid their radiant orbs be found, In reasons' ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing as they shine The hand that made us is divine.

To heaven I lift my waiting eyes

Hymnal: UACC1761 #170 (1761) Lyrics: 1 To heaven I lift my waiting eyes. There all my hopes are laid, the Lord that built the earth and skyes is my perpetuahl aid. 2 Their feet shall never slide or fall, whom he designs to keep; His ear attends the softest call, His eyes can never sleep. 3 He will sustain our feeble powers, With his Almighty arm, And watch our most unguarded hours, Against invading harm. 4 Israel rejoice and rest secure, Thy keeper is the Lord; His wakefull eyes employ his pow'r, For thine eternal guard 5 Nor scorching sun, nor sickly moon, Shall have his leave to smile; He shields thy head from burning noon From blasting damps at night. 6 He guards the soul, he keeps thy breath, Where thickest dangers come; Go and return secure from death, Till God commands thee home.

When all thy mercies, O my God

Hymnal: UACC1761 #180 (1761) Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost, In wonder love and praise. Thy providence my life sustain'd, and all my wants redress'd. While in the silent womb, I lay, And hung upon the breast. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah. 2 To all my weak complaints and cries, Thy mercy lent an ear. E'er yet my feeble thoughts had learn'd, To form themselves in prayer. Unnumber'd comforts to my soul, Thy tender care bestow'd. Before my infant heart conceived, From when those comforts flow'd. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah. 3 When in the slippery paths of youth, With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm unseen convey'd me safe, And led me up to man. Thor' hidden dangers, toils and deaths, It gently clear'd my way, And thrp' the pleasing snares of vice, More to be fear'd than they. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah. 4 Thro' every period of my life thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death in distant worlds The pleasing theme renew. Thro' all eternity to thee, A grateful song I'll raise; But O! eternity's too short, To utter all thy praise. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah.

When the fierce north wind with his airy forces

Hymnal: UACC1761 #188 (1761) Lyrics: 1 When the fierce north wind with his airy forces Rears up the Baltick to a foaming fury, And the red lightnings with a storm of hail comes, Rushing amain down. 2 How the poor sailors stand amaz'd and tremble, While the hoarse thunder like a bloody trumpet, Roars a loud onset to the gaping waters, Quick to devour them. 3 Such shall the noise be, and the wild disorder, (If things eternal may be like these earthly) Such the dire terror when the great archangel Shakes the creation. 4 Tears the strong pillars of the vault of heaven, Breaks up old marble, the repose of princes, See the graves open and the bones arising. Flames all around them. 5 Hark the shrill outcries of the guilty wretches! Lively bright horror, and amazing anguish, Stare thro' their eyelids, while the living worm lies Gnawing within them. 6 Thoughts like old vultures prey upon their heartstrings, And the smart twinges when the eye beholds the Lofty judge, frowning, and a flood of vengeance Rolling afore him. 7 Hopeless immortals, how they scream and shiver, While devils push them to the pit wide yawning, Hideous and gloomy, to receive them headlong Down to the center. 8 Stop here my fancy (All away ye horrid Doleful ideas) come arise to Jesus, How he sits Godlike, and the saints around him, Thron'd yet adoring. 9 O may I sit there when he comes triumphant, Dooming the nations, then ascend to glory, While our hosannas all along the passage Shout the redeemer.

While shepherds watch'd their flocks by night

Hymnal: UACC1761 #192 (1761) Lyrics: While shepherds watch'd their flocks by night All seated on the ground. The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around, And glory shone around. Fear not said he for mighty dread Had seiz'd their trouble dmind, Glad tidings of great joy I bring to you and all mankind, To you and all mankind. To you in David's town this day, Is born of David's line, A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, And this shall be the sign, And this shall be the sign. The heavenly babe you there shall find To humble view display'd, All meanly wrapt in swaddling bands, and in a manger laid, And in a manger laid. Thus spake the seraph and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God, and thus Address'd their joyful song, Address'd their joyful song. All glory be to God on high, And on the earth be peace, Good will henceforth from heav'n to man Begin and never cease, Begin and never cease. Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS
