High on a Hill of Dazzling Light

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2387 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. High on a hill of dazzling light The King of glory spreads His seat, And troops of angels stretched for flight, Stand waiting round His awful feet. 2. Go, saith the Lord, My Gabriel, go, Salute the virgin’s fruitful womb; Make haste, ye cherubs down below, Sing and proclaim the Savior come. 3. Here a bright squadron leaves the skies, And thick around Elisha stands; Anon a heav’nly soldier flies, And breaks the chains from Peter’s hands. 4. Thy wingèd troops, O God of hosts! Wait on Thy wandering church below: Here we are sailing to Thy coasts; Let angels be our convoy, too. 5. Are they not all Thy servants, Lord? At Thy command they go and come; With cheerful haste obey Thy word, And guard Thy children to their home. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTHAM (Calkin)

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XVIII (1766) Lyrics: 1 High on a Hill of dazzling Light The King of Glory spreads his Seat, And Troops of Angels stretch'd for Flight Stand waiting round his awful Feet. 2 Go, saith the Lord, my Gabriel go, Salute the Virgin's fruitful Womb; Make haste, ye Cherubs, down below, Sing and proclaim the Saviour come. 3 Here a bright Squadron leaves the Skies, And thick around Elisha stands; Anon a heav'nly Soldier flies, And breaks the Chains from Peter's Hands. 4 Thy winged Troops, O God of Hosts, Wait on thy wand'ring Church below; Here we are sailing to thy Coasts, Let Angels be our Convoy too. 5 Are they not all thy Servants, Lord? At thy Command they go and come; With chearful Haste obey thy Word, And guard thy Children to their Home. Topics: Ministry of Angels to Christ and Saints Languages: English
