On cherubs & on cherubims full royally he rode, on cherubs and on cherubims full royally he rode, he rode, on cherubs and on cherubims full royally he rode, and on the wings of mighty winds came flying all abroad, on the wings of mighty winds, on cherubs and on cherubims full royally he rode, and on the wings of mighty winds came flying all abroad.

The Lord Descended from Above

Author: Thomas Sternhold Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3935 Lyrics: 1. The Lord descended from above, And bowed the heavens high; And underneath His feet He cast The darkness of the sky. On cherub and on cherubim Full royally He rode; And on the wings of all the winds Came flying all abroad; And on the wings of all the winds Came flying all abroad. 2. And from above the Lord sent down To fetch me from below, And plucked me out of waters great That would me overflow. (And me delivered from my foes) That would have made me thrall; Yea, from such foes as were too strong For me to deal withal; Yea, from such foes as were too strong For me to deal withal. 3. And as I was an innocent, So did He me regard, And to the cleanness of my hands He gave me my reward. For that I walked in His ways, And in His paths have trod, And have not wavered wickedly Against my Lord and God; And have not wavered wickedly Against my Lord and God.
