Hymn 24

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #II.24 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When the great Builder arched the skies Lyrics: When the great Builder arched the skies, And formed all nature with a word, The joyful cherubs tuned his praise, And every bending throne adored. High in the midst of all the throng, Satan, a tall archangel, sat; Amongst the morning stars he sung, Till sin destroyed his heav'nly state. ['Twas sin that hurled him from his throne; Grov'lling in fire the rebel lies: "How art thou sunk in darkness down, Son of the morning, from the skies!"] And thus our two first parents stood, Till sin defiled the happy place; They lost their garden and their God, And ruined all their unborn race. [So sprung the plague from Adam's bower, And spread destruction all abroad; Sin, the cursed name, that in one hour Spoiled six days' labor of a God!] Tremble, my soul, and mourn for grief, That such a foe should seize thy breast; Fly to thy Lord for quick relief; Oh may he slay this treach'rous guest! Then to thy throne, victorious King, Then to thy throne our shouts shall rise! Thine everlasting arm we sing; For sin, the monster, bleeds and dies. Languages: English

[5 So sprung the Plague from Adam's Bow'r, And spread Destruction all abroad; Sin, the curst Name, and in one Hour, Spoil'd Six Days Labour of a God.] 6 Tremble, my Soul, and mourn for Grief, That such a Foe should seize thy Breast; Fly to thy Lord for quick Relief; O may he slay this treach'rous Guest. 7 Then to thy Throne, victorious King, Then to thy Throne our Shouts shall rise, Thine everlasting Arm we sing, For Sin the Monster, bleeds and dies.
