From Highest Heav’n the Eternal Son

From highest Heav’n the eter­nal Son

With God the Fa­ther ever One

Came down to suf­fer and to die;

For love of sin­ful man He bore

Our hu­man griefs and trou­bles sore

Our load of guilt and mi­se­ry.

Rejoice

ye saints of God

and praise

The Lamb who died

His flock to raise

From sin and ev­er­last­ing woe;

With an­gels round the throne ab­ove

O tell the won­ders of His love

The joys that from His mer­cy flow.

In dark­est shades of night we lay

Without a beam to guide our way

Or hope of aught be­yond the grave;

But He has brought us life and light

And op­ened Heav­en to our sight

And lives for­ev­er strong to save.

Rejoice

ye saints of God

re­joice;

Sing out

and praise with cheer­ful voice

The Lamb whom Heav’n and earth ad­ore;

To Him who gave His on­ly Son

To God the Spir­it

with Them One

Be praise and glo­ry ev­er­more.
