From heaven the mighty Lord look’d down,
From heaven, his high exalted throne,
Inquiring on this world’s abode,
Who understand and seek their God?
From his appointed righteous way,
Alas! they all are gone astray;
The ways of peace they have not known,
And none is righteous; no, not one.
Guilty, condemn’d, deprav’d, and lost,
Who before God hath ought to boast?
Arise, O King of Sion, rise,
And bring salvation from the skies.
Then shall thy saints rejoice and sing,
And each glad heart its tribute bring:
Pardon and grace shall then be given,
Peace upon the earth, and joy in heaven.
