1 The Lord descended from above,
And bowed the heavens most high,
And underneath His feet He cast
The darkness of the sky.
2 On cherubim and seraphim
Full royally He rode,
And on the wings of mighty winds
Came flying all abroad.
3 He sat serene upon the floods,
Their fury to restrain;
And He as sovereign Lord and King
For evermore shall reign.
