Jesus, Jesus, holy, holy, yet most lowly, now draw near us; great Emmanuel, kindly hear us. 2 Though circled by the hosts on high, he deigned to cast a loving eye upon his helpless creature; the whole creation’s Head and Lord, by highest seraphim adored, assumed our very nature. Jesus, grant us through your merit, to inherit your salvation; hear, O hear our supplication. 3 Rejoice, O heav'ns, and earth reply; with praise, you sinners, fill the sky for this, his incarnation. Incarnate God, put forth your pow'r; ride on, ride on, great Conqueror, till all know your salvation. Amen, amen! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise be given evermore by earth and heaven.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Job 38:7 First Line: When the great Builder arch'd the skies Lyrics: 1 When the great Builder arch'd the skies, And form'd all nature with a word, The joyful cherubs tun'd his praise, And ev'ry bending throne ador'd. 2 High in the midst of all the throng, Satan a tall arch-angel, sate, Amongst the morning stars he sung, Till sin destroy'd his heav'nly state. 3 ['Twas sin that hurl'd him from his throne. Grov'ling in fire the rebel lies: "How art thou sunk in darkness down, "Son of the morning, from the skies!" 4 And thus our two first parents stood, Till sin defil'd the happy place; They lost their garden and their God, And ruin'd all their unborn race. 5 [So sprung the plague from Adam's bow'r, And spread destruction all abroad; Sin, the curs'd name, that in one hour Spoil'd six days' labour of a God.] 6 Tremble, my soul, and mourn for grief, That such a foe should seize thy breast; Fly to thy Lord for quick relief! O! may he slay this treacherous guest. 7 Then to thy throne, victorious King, Then to thy throne our shouts shall rise, Thine everlasting arm we sing. For sin, the monster, bleeds and dies.
