Lyics

The Lord descended from above,

And bowed the heavens most high,

And underneath his feet he cast

The darkness of the sky.



On cherubim and seraphim

Full royally he rode;

And on the wings of mighty winds,

Came flying all abroad.



He sat serene upon the floods,

Their fury to restrain;

And he, as sovereign Lord and King,

For evermore shall reign.
