Down From The Skies

Author: Benjamin Russell Hanby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9345 First Line: Down from the skies bending low o’er the manger Refrain First Line: Little children lisp His grace, Lyrics: 1 Down from the skies bending low o’er the manger, White robed celestials adoringly throng; Hark! for they herald a heavenly stranger; Hasten, ye mortals, to join in their song. Refrain: Little children lisp His grace, Youthful voices sound His praise; Men and angels raise your loud hosannas to His name; Oceans with your fullness roar, Earth resound from shore to shore, Hallelujah to the Lamb. 2 Hail Him, ye shepherds, adore Him, ye sages, Ho! waiting Israel still faithful, though few; Gentiles, Oh list to the voice of the ages, Lo! a Deliv’rer is coming to you. [Refrain] 3 Dark is the pathway before Him and dreary, Onward it leads to the cross and the grave; Cheerful He treads it though fainting and weary, Thus, only thus, He His loved ones can save. [Refrain] 4 Weep not, O stricken ones, when shall enfold Him All the deep darkness of Calvary’s gloom; Soon, soon your tear blinded eyes shall behold Him, Walking a God from the gates of the tomb. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Down from the skies bending low o'er the manger]
