Down Headlong From Their Native Skies

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9894 Lyrics: 1 Down headlong from their native skies, The rebel angels fell, And thunderbolts of flaming wrath Pursued them deep to hell. 2 Down from the top of earthly bliss Rebellious man was hurled, And Jesus stooped beneath the grave To reach a sinking world. 3 O love of infinite degree! Unmeasurable grace! Must Heav’n’s eternal darling die, To save a traitorous race? 4 Must angels sink for ever down, And burn in quenchless fire, While God forsakes His shining throne To raise us wretches higher? 5 O for this love let earth and skies With hallelujahs ring, And the full choir of human tongues All hallelujahs sing.

Down headlong, from the native Skies

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XCVI (1766) Lyrics: 1 Down headlong, from their native Skies, The Rebel-Angels fell, And Thunder-bolts of flaming Wrath Pursu'd them deep to Hell. 2 Down from the Top of earthly Bliss Rebellious Man was hurl'd, And Jesus stoop'd beneath the Grave, To reach a sinking world. 3 O Love of infinite Degree! Unmeasurable Grace! Must Heav'n's eternal Darling die, To save a trait'rous Race? 4 Must angels sink for ever down, And burn in quenchless Fire, While God forsakes his shining Throne To raise us Wretches higher? 5 Oh! for this Love, let Earth and skies With Hallelujahs ring, And the full Choir of human Tongues All Hallelujahs sing.
