When God of old came down from heaven

Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: Common Praise #199 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When God of old came down from heaven, in power and wrath he came; before his feet the clouds were riven, half darkness and half flame. *2 But when he came the second time, he came in power and love; softer than gale at morning prime hovered his holy Dove. *3 The fires, that rushed on Sinai down in sudden torrents dread, now gently light, a glorious crown, on every sainted head. *4 And as on Israel’s awestruck ear the voice exceeding loud, the trump that angels quake to hear, thrilled from the deep, dark cloud; 5 So, when the Spirit of our God came down his flock to find, a voice from heaven was heard abroad, a rushing, mighty wind. 6 It fills the Church of God; it fills the sinful world around: only in stubborn hearts and wills no place for it is found. 7 Come Lord, come Wisdom, Love, and Power, open our ears to hear; let us not miss the accepted hour: save, Lord, by love or fear.

When God of Old Came Down from Heav'n

Author: John Keble Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7267 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. When God of old came down from Heav’n, In power and wrath He came; Before His feet the clouds were riven, Half darkness and half flame: 2. But when He came the second time, He came in power and love; Softer than gale at morning prime Hovered His holy Dove. 3. The fires, that rushed on Sinai down In sudden torrents dread, Now gently light, a glorious crown, On every sainted head. 4. And as on Israel’s awestruck ear The voice exceeding loud, The trump that angels quake to hear, Thrilled from the deep, dark cloud; 5. So, when the Spirit of our God Came down His flock to find, A voice from Heav’n was heard abroad, A rushing, mighty wind. 6. It fills the Church of God; it fills The sinful world around; Only in stubborn hearts and wills No place for it is found. 7. Come Lord, come wisdom, love and power, Open our ears to hear; Let us not miss the accepted hour; Save, Lord, by love or fear. Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER OLD
