O God, from heaven look down and see
Ah God, from heav'n look down and see
Author: Luther Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #101 (1863) Hymnal Title: Chorale Book for England, The Lyrics:
Ah God, from heav'n look down and see,
And let compassion move Thee,
How few, alas! Thy servants be,
How helpless those who love Thee.
Thy Word is suffer'd not to stand,
And Faith seems quench'd on ev'ry hand
In this dark time of trouble.
False teachings now men spread abroad,
Mere schemes of men's invention,
Not grounded on God's own true Word,
And so they breed dissension;
Their outward seeming may be fair,
But one goes here, another there,
And tends the Church asunder.
Therefore, saith God, I will arise,
These men my poor are wronging,
I hear my people's bitter sighs,
And I will grant their longing;
My striving Word shall take the field,
Shall be the poor man's strength and shield,
And all my foes shall conquer.
As silver that through fire hath passed
Is pure from all its drosses,
So shall God's Word shine forth at last
The brighter for these crosses;
Through trial is its power made known,
Till all men far and near shall own
How pure and strong its glory.
Therefore, O God, preserve it pure
From all that would abuse it,
And in the Faith our hearts secure,
That we may never lose it;
For trouble and rebuke shall be
Among the people,--when we see
Ungodly men exalted.

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #163 (1893) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book Lyrics: 1 O God, from heaven look down and see
A sight which well may move Thee:
Of godly men how few there be,
Forsaken we who love Thee!
Withheld is Thy pure Word, the light
Of faith itself extinguished quite
In all the sons of Adam.
2 Fictions they teach with cunning art,
And lies of man's invention;
Not grounded on God's Word, their heart
Breeds naught but strange dissension;
One chooses this, another that,
Untold division they create,
Though saint-like in appearance.
3 May God root out all heresy,
And of false teachers rid us,
Who proudly say: Tush, who is he
That shall our speech forbid us!
We have the right and might alone,
And what we say must stand, we own
None as our lord and master."
4 Therefore saith God, "I must arise,
The poor suffer wrong-doing;
To me ascend my people's sighs,
And I have heard their suing:
My saving Word shall take the field,
Shall be the poor man's strength and shield,
Shall conquer all opposers."
5 As silver seven times furnace-tried;
Is pure from all its drosses,
So doth the Word of God abide
The brighter for its crosses;
For trial shows its worth aright,
And manifests its strength, and light,
That through all lands it shineth.
6 O God, preserve it pure and free
From this vile generation,
And let us be preserved by Thee
From their abomination;
The wicked walk on every side,
When 'mid Thy flock the vile abide
In power and are exalted.
