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.
